Tokoname village is going to probably have the highest concentration of bonsai potters. But you should also do some research about what potters you really like - some may not be located there. I have watched some YouTube kiln tours of potters that are located outside of Tokoname...

If you’re in Tokyo, Omiya Bonsai Village isn’t far from Tokyo proper to get to. In addition to bonsai nurseries, many of the retail/nurseries also sell bonsai pots. Tokoname is closer to Osaka which would take a several hour shinkansen to get to. What kind and size pots are you looking for?
