Join us at the popular “Gala Blue Ocean Spring Yachimun Market” in Yomitan Village, where Okinawa’s most creative pottery studios gather at a scenic spot by the sea. With this year’s theme of “Beautiful pottery enhances our lives,” the event is set to be bigger than ever — with a record-breaking 48 studios showcasing their unique works!

Admission is free to this event which is packed with vibrant energy, artistic charm, and island culture. Located near Nirai Beach, Gala Blue Ocean is a beautiful oceanfront venue offering not just pottery but also glassblowing, horse riding, and local cuisine.  

To fully enjoy the experience and avoid crowds, we recommend visiting in the morning. A variety of food trucks representing every taste category will also be on-site, making it a perfect day out for families, friends, and art lovers.

Celebrate spring with Okinawa’s largest Yachimun (pottery) event — a unique chance to find one-of-a-kind pieces and experience the charm of Okinawan craftsmanship.
