日本遺産（Japan Heritage)
In Japan live customs and traditions that have come down through the generations,rooted in local historical circumstances and environment.
The Agency for Cultural Affairs certifies such tangible and intangible cultural assets
from all over Japan as “Japan Heritage” organized by region and theme. The agency
conveys the story of each cultural asset in such a manner as to make it easy tounderstand the historical value and significance. Each asset overflows with themultifaceted splendor of Japanese culture.
This forum will enable participants to experience first-hand Japan’s historical appeal,culture, and traditions through the keynote address, panel discussion, and research
discussion that will convey the appeal of the story of “Japan Heritage”, as experienced
directly by foreigners studying in Japan.
