The Ebetsu Bricks, registered as a Hokkaido Heritage asset, once accounted for nearly 50% of Japan’s total brick production at their peak. They have been used in the restoration of Sapporo’s Red Brick Government Building as well as in parts of Hokkaido Ballpark F Village. Because the factory does not operate during winter, visitors can enjoy a special seasonal experience. Enjoy a warm and memorable moment that connects you with over 130 years of brick-making history and the unique warmth of winter in Hokkaido.

Enjoy a hands-on pottery experience at Hokkaido’s oldest kiln 2 hours
Enjoy a hands-on pottery experience at Hokkaido’s oldest kiln. Under the friendly guidance of skilled artisans, you will create your own piece from clay using a traditional hand wheel technique (te-rokuro). Even beginners can enjoy this experience with clear and enjoyable instruction. After the workshop, your finished piece will be fired at the kiln and shipped to you, so please pay the shipping fee on-site (estimated shipping cost: around JPY 5,000). Approximately 2–3 months after the experience, you will receive your one-of-a-kind ceramic piece—something truly unique in the world. Spend two enjoyable hours immersed in pottery, surrounded by laughter, craftsmanship, and the warm personality of the kiln artisans.
