Explore the historic Tonbai Walls in Arita, Saga Prefecture, a unique feature of this pottery town. These walls are made from reclaimed firebricks and discarded kiln tools, mortared with red clay. Located in the back streets between Arita Ceramic Art Museum and around the Daikousonju near Kami-Arita Station, the Tonbai Walls offer a glimpse into Arita's rich ceramic heritage. Stroll through the quiet alleyways to admire this distinctive landscape, especially picturesque near Tsuji Seiji Inc. Visit during the day to fully appreciate the textures and colors of the walls. The area provides a peaceful escape from the busier main streets and pottery market.
