In 1682 the Ryukyu kingdom consolidated its scattered kilns into one district in Naha, and Tsuboya has been making pottery ever since. The street is about four hundred metres of low buildings, shisa on every roof and gatepost, kiln shops, and workshops that still throw and glaze on the premises — one of the few parts of central Naha with a pre-war grain to it.

The last standing climbing kiln, the Nan-ya, is at the eastern end. It has not been fired since smoke regulations ended wood-firing in the city — which is why most of the potters moved to Yomitan in the 1970s — but it is preserved and can be walked around freely, with a café beside it selling Okinawan sweets. The municipal pottery museum at the top of the street explains the whole history for ¥350.

**See the Nan-ya kiln.** The last surviving climbing kiln in Tsuboya, no longer fired, freely viewable at the eastern end with a café alongside. It is the reason the potters left for Yomitan. **Go into the museum first.** ¥350, free for students, and it explains the 1682 consolidation and the difference between the glazed and unglazed traditions before you start looking at shop shelves. **Look at the shisa.** Tsuboya makes them and the street is the best place in Okinawa to see the range, from crude roof guardians to elaborate paired figures. **Compare with Yomitan.** Tsuboya is the old urban district; Yachimun no Sato is where the wood-firing went. Seeing both makes the split legible. **Seven minutes from the monorail.** Asato Station, and it connects to Kokusai-dori, which makes this the easiest genuinely old quarter to reach in Naha.
