The Hometown of the Lucky Cat - Tokoname.
This trip can be arranged before your flight ~ 2 JR stations to Chubu Airport)
Tokoname JR Station is very tourist-friendly. You can store your luggage with the station staff at the station exit for 430 yen, no time limit✌🏼 Freeing your hands is important!!
Cross the road and turn left from the exit, and you will see the Lucky Cat in the first picture. Otherwise, just follow other tourists, and you won't get lost. Next, head to the Ceramic Village, which is similar to the concept of Yingge Old Street, but with unique small shops.
It is recommended to reserve more than 2 hours for this trip (if you plan to dine). For lunch, I randomly walked into a family-run restaurant (picture 6) to enjoy everyday Japanese cuisine.
