Important Cultural Landscape
Important Cultural Landscapes are unique scenic areas protected under Japanese law as cultural properties, where local communities have maintained a harmonious relationship with nature through their traditional way of life and work. Managed by the Agency for Cultural Affairs and protected under the Cultural Properties Protection Law, these landscapes include terraced rice fields, traditional rural mountains, fishing villages, and tea plantations across Japan, each telling its own story of local customs and history. As a tourist, you can not only enjoy the changing seasonal views but also experience authentic Japanese traditions and local cuisine, making your journey more meaningful. These landscapes, often referred to as Japan's original scenery, showcase the country's traditional lifestyle and scenic beauty, making them increasingly popular tourist destinations that offer unforgettable experiences.
