At the pottery festival, a great number of valuable works that are rarely placed on the market are exhibited and the festival ground is crowded with tourists. A lot of bargains are found at about 60 galleries of potters. It is a rare chance to see such a large number of pottery works at the same time. Tourists are excited to look around the array of large and small pieces of pottery.

The fair of many other specialty products of the Tanba area is also held during the festival. There are more than 100,000 tourists come to enjoy this festival both from inside and outside of the prefecture.
