    常滑にある、やきもの散歩道の途中にあります。江戸時代から廻船業を営んでいた、瀧田家の町家。このあたりで、内部公開されている唯一の町家です。主屋のほか、倉庫や離れなどが保存されていて、資料とともに展示されています。常滑が海運の町でもあったことがよくわかります。

Aichi Areas

Aichi is a prefecture of great natural beauty with Nagoya city at its heart, a busy hub home to a labyrinth of underground shops and the 17th-century Nagoya Castle. Castles are easy to find in this history-rich prefecture, but the highlight for history buffs has to be the Museum Meiji-mura, where preserved buildings from the turn of the 20th century are displayed in all their grandeur in an outdoor museum.
