The Suzu City Suzu Ware Museum has been closed since the January 2024 Noto earthquake with no announced reopening date, and Suzu ware is currently easiest to find at Michi-no-eki Suzunari or through individual potters — call ahead before making a special trip. Suzu Pottery Kiln is renowned for its traditional Suzu-yaki ceramics, which are characterized by their unique glazes and craftsmanship. Visitors can observe artisans at work and even participate in pottery-making workshops to create their own pieces.
