About this spot
Located almost in the center of Nagasaki Prefecture, Hasami Town is home to Nishinohara, a nostalgic area built on the site of the former Koyama Toen pottery workshop. Spread over about 1,500 tsubo, the grounds still hold buildings designated as Registered Tangible Cultural Properties of Japan, which convey the atmosphere of the past. As you stroll the grounds, you will discover individual shops such as Nansoko, which displays stylish Hasami ware, and the cafe monne legui mooks, which serves dishes made with local ingredients. The old pottery buildings have been reborn as modern cafes and shops, creating a photogenic space where every corner looks like a picture. It is a great choice for pottery lovers, those looking for distinctive goods, and anyone who wants to relax. Whether you carefully choose tableware on your own or hop between cafes with friends, you can spend your holiday as you like. Come and find your favorite piece in this place where Hasami's history meets new culture.
