Kamagaki no Komichi Street
The "kamagaki", or "pottery wall" as it is referred to in Japanese, is made of stacked-up old tools you would find in a pottery kiln. The sight is found nowhere else in Japan than in Seto City. The wall spans nearly 400 meters along a "komichi", or "street", making the—you guessed it—Kamagaki no Komichi Street.
Since long ago, the path was a main street used to transport pottery and ceramics, and thus remains the location of many kiln owners' homes, allowing a peak into what this pottery city's past. Along the surrounding Hora Town's section of the street, you can even learn about local history and culture at the Kamagaki no Komichi Museum.
