What other travelers are saying about Kanazawa Ohi Pottery Museum
Private tour with the artist was possible for my group. Extraordinary collection of the forms of tea bowls from generations of the Ohi family. Beauty, beauty, beauty.
If you're a keen student and collector of Japanese ceramics, this should be one of your bucket list items. Stunning museum with some items dated back to mid 17th century of feudal Japan.
A wonderful experience. We visited on a rainy spring afternoon and had a fantastic time. Having tea in one of these exquisite ancient tea bowls is remarkable
Small but beautiful museum. You can enjoy just the exhibition, but for a few hundred yen more you get to enjoy matcha paired with a japanese sweet.
The beauty of this is that you get to choose which cup to drink the matcha from, and they’re all made by one of the Ohi Chozaemon masters! It was a delight to enjoy the tea with this connection to local history. The staff was also very friendly.
A very interesting museum that presents the history of making the Ohi pottery, its technique, and thus also tea culture. A special bonus is the endless kindness of the staff, which is even more evident when they serve the extra macha tea.
