Takahama, a town in Aichi Prefecture's Mikawa region, is the main production centre for Sanshu roof tiles, counted among Japan's three great tile traditions. The country's only museum dedicated exclusively to roof tiles — the Takahama Yakimono-no-Sato Kawara Museum and Library — is based here. The town sits on the water with mountains visible in the distance.
