Okinawa Island Guide

The 33rd Yomitan Yachimun Market 2026

One of Okinawa’s most anticipated pottery events returns to Yomitan Village for its 33rd edition. The Yomitan Yachimun Market brings together over 30 local kilns from across the village, offering an unparalleled chance to purchase authentic yachimun pottery at special event prices.

Every piece on display is handcrafted—shaped by clay, glaze, brushwork, and even the day’s humidity—making each item truly one of a kind. From everyday tableware to bold artistic statements, the joy is in discovering that unexpected treasure. It’s no surprise the market draws around 20,000 pottery lovers from Okinawa and beyond over two lively days each year.

Set in a friendly, open-air venue with plenty of free parking, the market is easy to visit and fun to browse—whether you’re a serious collector or simply looking for a meaningful souvenir made by local hands.

Come experience the warmth, creativity, and craftsmanship of Yomitan—where no two pieces are ever the same.
