What is Japanese Cultural Heritage in Tokyo about?

Japanese Cultural Heritage in Tokyo is ......

the one-stop guide for "National Treasure" and  "Important Cultural Property"  (designated by the Government of Japan) in Tokyo. Hope this helps you know about different aspects of Japan from those broadly spread around.

What is "Important Cultural Property"?

Apart from the World Heritage system designated by the UNESCO, Japan has its own domestic designation system named "Important Cultural Property", imposing restrictions to their alteration, repair and export. Among the items designated, the particularly valuable items are designated as "National Treasure". The designation takes place at a level of nation, prefecture and city according to the criteria, and this site covers only the items designated at the level of nation.

Our best effort is given to each article to provide correct information, but for the latest information, please check at the official websites before you visit the sites.


Who is TeaTime Tokyo?

I am an antique-lover... but not interested in owning, rather interested in watching and feeling superb items.
I was born and grown up mainly in Tokyo. In my 20's and 30's, I had opportunities to live and work abroad where I found myself know little about my home country Japan...If I introduce what I learn about Japan, will it help anybody?
These are some of the reasons why I kicked off this site, I believe.

Have one kid with Husband. Used to work as a corporate planner/brand planner/product planner at global and Japanese companies for 15 years. MBA (Schulich, Canada), MSc & B.Agri (The Univ. of Tokyo, Japan).

アンティーク好きです。所有することよりも、素敵なアンティークを見て味わうことが好き。
東京生まれ、ほぼ東京育ち。20代&30代に海外に赴任し、いかに自分が日本のことを知らないのかに気づかされました・・・・・・日本について私が知ったことを発信したら、誰かに興味をもってもらえるかしら?
そんなことから、このサイトを始めた・・・・・・のだと思います。
