Founded in 1832, Hasegawa-en, a renowned Iga-yaki pottery manufacturer, is a complex featuring three shops, a museum, a hands-on workshop, a cafe, and an observation deck.

The famous 16-chamber climbing kiln and the Taishokan Hall are registered tangible cultural properties of the country, allowing visitors to experience the history of the pottery industry up close.

The museum offers a wide selection of Iga-yaki tableware and cooking utensils, including the Kamadosan rice cooker. The museum is dedicated to creating tools useful for modern life, and offers many practical yet stylish products.

In the Taishokan Hall, a rest area, you can enjoy self-service coffee (500 yen) in a stylish interior evoked by the romantic atmosphere of the Taisho era. For a fee, you can take home the Iga-yaki cup you used.

In addition, pottery-making and painting experiences (reservations required and a fee apply) are also available, perfect for creating lasting memories of your trip. The annual "Kiln Dishes Market" held from May 2nd to 4th is a popular bargain hunt.

The surrounding area is in a great location, so a visit will surely leave you feeling even more attached to Iga ware. The small path that leads from the outdoor climbing kiln to the observation deck is also a great place to stroll, and is highly recommended.

The "igamono Tokyo Store," an antenna shop, is also located in Ebisu, Shibuya Ward, Tokyo.
