Kama-to no Mori

A space combining a cafe, a lifestyle goods shop, and a gallery in Shigaraki, Koka City, Shiga Prefecture. Operated by Shigaraki ware producer Kato Co., Ltd., Kama-to no Mori opened in 2013 on the former site of an 80-meter-long tunnel kiln that had operated for 40 years. Shigaraki ware is still produced at the adjacent factory, offering a close-up sense of the craftsmanship behind this pottery tradition.

I originally just came to check out the Shigaraki ware, but the whole space turned out to be really interesting. The pottery, plants, and art displays all blend together, and every corner is photogenic.

The kind of place where you immediately want to keep taking pictures. Both sides of the river are lined with cherry blossoms, and when they’re in full bloom, it’s honestly incredible. So pink everywhere.

The path is flat and easy to walk, so it’s really nice for a stroll while enjoying the blossoms. You’ll also see lots of locals jogging or walking their dogs, which gives the whole area a very everyday, relaxed feel.

The quality of the hot spring water here is excellent and has great therapeutic benefits. Soaking in the onsen really helps relieve muscle fatigue and relax both body and mind. It's especially helpful after a long day of traveling.
