Nishinohara" used to be home to the "Fukko Pottery Works" run by a pottery manufacturer that has been in business since the Edo period. The pottery factory closed down in 2001, but the buildings of the pottery factory built in the early Showa period have been reborn as an area lined with fashionable stores such as cafes, restaurants, and Hasami-ware stores. The potter's wheel house was built in 1928 and registered as a national tangible cultural property and a prefectural town development scenic asset in 2012. Currently, it is a multi-purpose space where exhibitions of contemporary art, live art performances, workshops, etc. are held. It is popular among young people as an area where they can enjoy Hasami pottery in a casual manner. (Photo courtesy of Nagasaki Prefectural Tourism Federation)
A stroll through the village of Hasami Pottery, overlooked by the ruins of one of the world's largest climbing kilns
Hasami-yaki pottery produced in Hasami-cho is popular as everyday tableware. Like Arita and Imari, its history is rooted in the potters brought from the Korean Peninsula during Hideyoshi's invasion of Korea. Since the Edo period (1603-1867), tableware for the masses has been mass-produced at Nakao Mountain, and this was made possible by the huge continuous climbing kiln. The kiln is 160 meters long and boasts 33 kiln chambers. Many potters continue to produce pottery today, and the remains of one of the world's largest climbing kilns, brick chimneys, and back alleys make it possible to enjoy a tour of the kilns and a stroll along the back alleys. The "Cherry Blossom Pottery Festival" is held every April, and the "Autumn Pottery Tour" in late October, with the kilns open to the public, a walk rally, and direct sales of pottery.

Iwaya Gongen-sama in a rock hole in the cliff! Please let me pass through your buttocks!
It is a 12-minute drive from Minami Rural Park, but some of the roads are narrow, so park in the plaza along the prefectural road on the "Kiya Course" side, following the signs on the road except for light cans. From there, a 20-minute walk along the "Iwaya Course" along the Ishiki River will take you to the Iwaya Shrine. The Iwaya Gongen shrine of Shugendo, which is said to have been founded by Kobo Daishi, is reached by stone steps beyond the torii gate and a rock cave in the cliff further ahead. When the stone steps end, they lead to a paved road. At Iwaya Gongen, a small rock hole connects the worship hall and the inner temple. This hole is called the "ear hole," and it is said that filial piety will not be able to pass through it because their lower stomachs and buttocks will be caught. If your lower stomach or buttocks get caught... you should go on a diet!
Arita's charms are being introduced to the world! Theme Park for Sake and Vessels
This theme park is unique to the village of Arita-yaki, Japan's world-class ceramics. The first thing that catches the eye is the building that recreates the Zwinger Palace in Dresden, Germany. The museum exhibits early Arita-yaki, Ko-Imari, Kakiemon, and other porcelain from the peak of the Edo and Meiji periods. Also on display is a large 182-centimeter-high vase that was exhibited at the Vienna World Exposition in the 1870s. The vast park is dotted with a hands-on workshop where visitors can try their hand at Arita-yaki pottery (rokuroku) pulling and painting, a baroque garden, a climbing kiln, restaurants, and more. The park is operated by a sake brewery, and there is also a souvenir store where visitors can sample limited edition sake, sake, and shochu (distilled spirit).

Katashima Park (former site of Kawatana Torpedo Firing Test Site)
Remnants from the Pacific War still exist today. Secret torpedo firing tests conducted in secret.
The small peninsula of Katashima is located east of the Osaki Peninsula. This used to be a small island, but in 1917 the Katashima Torpedo Test Site was completed, and in 1942 it was reclaimed and connected to land. The island was reclaimed in 1942 to make way for the establishment of the Kawatana Naval Arsenal. The former Imperial Japanese Navy conducted top-secret torpedo performance tests and delivered the torpedoes to the Sasebo township. The "Air Compression Pumping Station," completed in 1917, is the most majestic of all. The pump was used to compress air and oxygen into the air chamber inside the torpedo. The "torpedo launching site" at the end of the pier is now off-limits due to the danger of collapse. (Photo courtesy of the Nagasaki Prefectural Tourism Federation)
