Kutaniyaki Art Museum

The Kutaniyaki Art Museum displays numerous examples of Japanese porcelain works, featuring traditional pieces with distinctive patterns and color combinations throughout its exhibition spaces.

The museum, which opened on April 13, 2001, preserves centuries of ceramic craftsmanship that began in 1655 when Kutani porcelain production started in the Daishoji domain.

Each exhibition room incorporates Kutani porcelain tiles into its interior design, reflecting the integration of this traditional art form into modern architectural elements.

Located at 1-10-13 Daishoji Jikata-machi, the museum charges 560 yen for adult admission and operates from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with final entry at 4:30 PM.

The second-floor café serves Japanese and Chinese teas in Kutani porcelain cups while offering views of the surrounding landscaped garden through its windows.
