Japan Heritage

Japan Heritage (日本遺産, Nihon Isan) is a programme sponsored by the Japanese Agency for Cultural Affairs, aimed at valorization by local governments and other bodies, that sees individual Cultural Properties across different categories as well as other not-yet-designated assets grouped together into thematic "stories" that the agency then designates as "Japan Heritage". The first asset was designated in 2015, and as of June 2020, there were 104 of these narratives.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]
