Karatsu Pottery Making

Far more than just a pottery class, this is an immersive cultural experience in Karatsu, Saga Prefecture - an area renowned for its centuries-old traditional ceramics, known as 'Karatsu-yaki' (Karatsu ware). You'll work side by side with a local pottery artisan in an authentic, still-working kiln - an experience rarely open to tourists. A local English-speaking guide will ensure meaningful interaction with the artisan, allowing you to learn about the history, techniques, and spirit of Karatsu pottery. Unlike mass workshops, this experience offers personal attention and the opportunity to create a unique piece of kitchenware with your own hands, which can then be professionally fired and shipped to your home. A memorable way to connect with Japanese culture and take home a truly one-of-a-kind souvenir.

Saga: Private Food and Bar Hopping Tour – Choose Your City

To eat and drink in Saga is to taste a prefecture held between two very different seas. The Genkai Sea brings squid and other fresh catches to the north, while the tidal Ariake Sea supports its own distinctive seafood culture. Between them lie the fertile Saga Plain and mountain-fed waters that sustain rice cultivation and a deeply rooted sake-brewing tradition. Saga is also the land of Karatsu and Imari ware, where food, drink, and handcrafted vessels naturally meet at the table. Choose Saga City, Tosu, Karatsu, or Imari, and spend the evening at two local venues selected around your tastes. What appears on the table changes with the city, season, and availability—and that is part of the experience. Rather than following a fixed tourist menu, discover the Saga being eaten and poured that night. With a private guide helping you order and understand what is before you, dinner becomes a journey from sea and field to brewery and kiln.
