Tachikawa Pottery Market, Autumn 2026 (たちかわ陶器市 2026 秋), takes place at GREEN SPRINGS from November 27–29, 2026, from 11:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. each day. Alongside ceramics you can examine in person, the market brings together Japanese tea sellers, sweets, food trucks and a display of tableware from Auberge TOKITO.
If the outdoor tea service is your main reason to visit, choose Saturday, November 28: two sencha sessions are scheduled that afternoon. The pottery market itself runs on all three days.
Check the official pottery market website for updates before travelling.

What to browse at the pottery market
The craft market brings together makers primarily from the Kanto region, with pottery and porcelain available to pick up and examine. That makes it a chance to compare the weight, shape and finish of pieces before choosing something for your table.
The announced lineup includes the following makers. This is a selection, rather than the full exhibitor list; use the official website to check the latest lineup.
| Selected exhibitors | Selected exhibitors |
|---|---|
| Mahito kudo potter | mitti ceramic |
| Wendy in the Neverland | cika_takeda pottery |
| N.plats | nemu.. |
| Enkel | grace 3 |
| YOHAKU | POTPURRI |
The supplied photographs show a range of styles, from colourful glazes to botanical decoration and simpler, earthy forms. They are illustrative images, so treat them as a sense of the market rather than a promise that a particular piece will be available.
Japanese tea, sweets and Saturday tea sessions
Tachikawa Tea Tour, Autumn 2026 (立川お茶めぐり2026秋), is part of the pottery market. Expect sencha, Japanese black tea and hojicha, alongside teaware and a sweets area. The tea lineup includes growers and brands from Nagasaki, Shizuoka and other parts of Japan.

| LIVING ROOM W | Tea and teaware. Announced exhibitors include OOLLSEE, GOOD TIMING TEA, IKOI JAPANESE TEA, marushin pottery, TEARIN and tatami.boy. |

Auberge TOKITO tableware and cookies
Auberge TOKITO’s display in LIVING ROOM E offers a closer look at the vessels used to present its cuisine. It is a different angle on browsing ceramics: seeing how the form and finish of a piece contribute to a dish.
The booth will also sell a limited quantity of TOKITO’s savoury cookies, which are normally made to order. Prices and quantities have not been supplied.
| Cookie flavour |
|---|
| Cheese and onion |
| Black sesame |
| Salted kombu and onion |
