Beautiful mountains and famous hot springs, tea and pottery: when it comes to exploring, Kito District has a diverse range of attractions and many of it`s locales are famous throughout Japan (and even abroad to an extent).
But the one factor that makes Kito stand out is it`s history: specifically the origins of Japanese pottery (Yakimono). Ask a Japanese person to name one thing about Saga and the response will likely be “Yakimono“.
