Tokoname, Japan walk – GPS tracks

Here are the tracks from my GPS while walking along taking photos in Tokoname which is just outside Nagoya and right next to the airport. They do provide a map at the visitor station but it isn’t to scale. We did the A and B walk on the map. There is also a C walk.

If you haven’t followed my recent posts from my walk then please see my previous posts here – Tokoname posts

Richard and Mieko have a pottery business in Tokoname called Olive Tree Pottery. The area around his place is such a nice area in Japan with many trees, hills, ocean, history and it’s quite. Richard showed us around and gave us some history on the area.

By the way, Richard is offering pottery internships to people from the USA if your interested. Contact him via his website.

Tokoname is located just outside Nagoya and one stop away by train from the Centrair International Airport.

Like Seto , Tokoname is an old pottery town with the Maneki neko ceramics everywhere. This photo of one was just sitting in someones yard. Pottery shops are everywhere even in peoples homes. You can pick up one of many walking guides at the town train station.
