Hita’s traditional pottery called Ontayaki has been a tradition passed down for generations. There is a whole town in Hita where the people that live in it dedicate their lives to this type of pottery. 

In this town, we could experience the effort that is put into making these pots. After experiencing the history of Ontayaki, you can purchase the pots in Mamedamachi. Just seeing the process of making the pot, you cannot help but want to buy one of the beautiful pieces of pottery. Once you come to Hita, we definitely recommend to visit the Ontayaki town.
