Of particular note is the Tōei Kiln (陶栄窯). This is a "climbing" kiln (nobori-gama) that was built in 887 and was used until 1974. It is the largest kiln of its kind in existence
in Japan to this day. It has eight firing chambers with a 17° inclination and ten chimneys of different heights. The scale of the building is impressive. In 1982, it was recognized by the government as an important cultural asset preserved in Tokoname.

It is also worth knowing that this ceramic town gathers the most talented Japanese craftsmen. Thanks to them, Tokoname ceramics are distinguished by their precision and nobility of workmanship. Among other things, ceramic jars (e.g. for pickles), ceramic pipes, roof tiles, manekineko cats (lucky cats), cups, mugs, plates, etc. are made there. But the icon of this place was and is the Kyusu teapot.
These Japanese teapots are unique because they have an unusual shape. They are usually small in size, with a handle on the side, a lid that fits perfectly to the whole thing and a characteristic spout cut at an angle that makes it easier to pour tea.
Tea from such Kyusu from Tokoname supposedly has a unique and unrepeatable taste and aroma. Which is a breakthrough value for green tea lovers.
