Official Cultural Properties Database

Copy a place name from the results below, open the Agency for Cultural Affairs database, and paste the name into its search field. When a Japanese name is available, the Copy name button copies the Japanese name first.

Coverage notice: The database primarily covers designated or registered cultural properties. Not every museum, library, shrine, temple, historic place, natural attraction, or local facility shown here will appear in it. Names may also differ because of Japanese spelling, alternative names, abbreviations, or registration formats. A missing result does not confirm that a place is not officially designated.

Place discovery: OpenStreetMap contributors via Geofabrik. Official designation guidance is provided in the database section above. No third-party images are displayed.
