The Shigaraki kilns, dotted across the town of Shigaraki in Koka City, Shiga Prefecture, also primarily produced pots, jars, and large bowls, like the other kilns. However, as the last kiln site of the medieval period, its products circulated primarily in Nara and Kyoto. From the Nanbokuchō period, Shigaraki began to create its own distinctive features. Jars with thick incised lines encircling the inner rims, pots with out-turned, double rims, as well as small and large pots with fence patterns that could be seen only on Shigaraki ware appeared. It can be said that of the many medieval ceramics, Shigaraki ware possesses, above all, the richest expressions. As if imitating the abundant nature of Japan from season to season, Shigaraki captures the hearts of its viewers with its unique expressions, such as its burnt surface, magnificent water fall-like drippings of natural bright green ash glaze, rich flaming red hues contrasting light and dark, coarse surfaces like wind and rain-trodden, withered fields, and bursting crab eye-like feldspars.

Situated in the region from the north to east of Imada in Sasayama City, Hyogo Prefecture, Tamba was another prosperous kiln site that was influenced by Tokoname ware. This influence is strongly pronounced in early examples from Tamba, however, from the 14th to 15th century, Tamba ware transformed showing regional distinction in its forms. Its natural bright green glaze, which flows down to its unglazed lustrous surface, emits a radiance that surpasses the other examples of medieval ceramic ware.

A representative medieval kiln site of western Japan, the Bizen kilns inherited the techniques of Sue ware and were widely fired in Bizen City in Okayama Prefecture. Taking after Sue techniques, early Bizen ware originally had an ash-gray surface, however, from the latter half of the 13th century, the kilns began producing hard, oxidized-fired pots, jars, and large bowls with a reddish brown surface. Its stately pots and solid jars used for storing grains and water came into great demand, and its sturdy bowls also became a brand product as kitchenware that was distributed throughout Japan.
