Tokoname City, located in Aichi Prefecture, is just a short 30-minute train ride from Nagoya.
Since the opening of Chubu Centrair International Airport in 2005 and AICHI SKY EXPO in 2019, the city has become a popular destination for visitors from home and abroad.
Tokoname is well-known as the production centre of Tokoname-yaki ( Tokoame ware ) with a span of one thousand years! It is also said to have the best Kyusu ( Japanese teapot ) making skills in Japan.
On top of all that, Tokoname is also blessed with incredible marine and fisheries resources, right on the doorstep of the beautiful Ise Bay! Amongst all of them, "Nori (a dried edible seaweed)" is highly evaluated throughout the country as it is characterized by its dark colour, distinct lustre, and strong flavor.
To let visitors experience the unique attractions of Tokoname, we will be offering tea served by a teapot craftsman with Tokoname-yaki Kyusu, and offering samples of freshly roasted nori. They are all free of charge!
We are delighted to welcome you to our Tokoname booth, situated right next to the Aichi Prefecture booth.
Come and enjoy a fantastic "short trip to Tokoname" at our booth, with free samples and lots of exciting activities for you all!
