Denden-Zaka

Denden-zaka is located on the south side of the Takita Family Residence.（Shipping Agent Takita House） The hill was once called Denden-yama. One story says the name came from the Takita family, who watched ships at the port and told the owner what they saw. That’s why it was called the “hill of news,” or Denden-yama. Along the slope, you can see many old pottery items. The walls are covered with clay shochu bottles, and under the ground are “Kesawa,” which were used for firing clay pipes. It’s a quiet place where you can enjoy the special feeling of a pottery town. また、土管を焼いた時に使った焼き台「ケサワ」を地面に埋め込み、坂道の壁には陶製の焼酎瓶が一面に敷き詰められており、暮らしの中に息づく常滑焼の風景を楽しめる。 静かな坂道を歩きながら、陶器のまちならではの趣をじっくり楽しめるスポット。
