Onnin-ji is one of the three Jodo Shinshu temples of the shore, and its main hall was rebuilt in 1481. The Takahama City Tourist Association says the gate carries a fine decorative demon figure and, above it, an unusual downward-facing demon roof tile. The city's website lists "town of demon-tile makers" among its featured words.
02 ／ Lion dance
Enchoko Shishi is a two-person lion dance handed down in the Morimae district, designated an Aichi Prefecture Intangible Folk Cultural Property in 1965. The performers flip over to the rhythm while riding on shoulders, and the prefecture lists seven kinds of dance.
03 ／ Monument
The monument in Morimae Park is titled "Mikawa Dokan no So," roughly "founders of Mikawa clay pipes," and bears the names of a man from Takahama Village, Hekikai District, and a man from Tokoname Town, Chita District. The park also keeps a marker for the Morimae ferry, which linked the district with Kamezaki on the opposite shore until the Kinuura Bridge opened in 1956.
