Tokoname-City Takita Family Shipping Dealer
Located on Aichi Prefecture's Chita Peninsula in Tokoname-City, Takita Family Shipping Dealer is the former residence of the Takita family, who ran a shipping business from the Edo period to the Meiji period. Built around 1850, the buildings were restored and opened to the public from April of 2000. Seasonal exhibitions of the Takita family's furniture, a valuable "mujinto" lamp (a self-refueling lamp that uses canola oil), models of Japanese ships, maritime history, and other exhibits are on display here.
