List of Japan's special historical sites

The list of special historical sites of Japan ( Japanese 特別 史跡 , tokubetsu shiseki, English Special Historic Sites ) includes 62 historical and archaeological sites of Japan. All of the sites listed here are declared both as “special” sites and “nationwide” as such under the 1950 “ Cultural Property Protection Act ”. Today these sites are summarized by the revised seventh part of the law: "Historic and scenic sites and natural monuments" ( 史跡 名勝 天然 記念 物 ) with scenic squares and natural monuments.

Legend

The table below contains all of Japan's “special historical sites” declared cultural assets. In column one the name of the site is given in Latin letters, column two gives the official and full name of the site in Japanese script . The transmission obeys the Japanese name following rules: the Kanji 跡 ( Kun-reading : ato / On-reading : seki ) is consistently here, and if standing alone as an identifier in the meaning historic site understood and not incorporated in the Latin inscription. The term iseki ( 遺跡 ), on the other hand, is transferred with ruin or remains . The term shiroato / jōseki ( 城 跡 ) is usually a castle (shiro / jō), which is a historical site. It may have come to us as a ruin or it may have been preserved or restored. The prefix Kyū- ( 旧 , "earlier, formerly") is used in Japanese terms for a present z. To distinguish some of the existing sites from the original, often archaeologically developed, historical site under a different name. It is therefore not translated, but is placed in front of the Latin name as a mark in brackets. Hi ( 碑 ) is generally translated as “stone monument”; The common technical term Kofun ( 古墳 ) is also used for the “barrows” characteristic of Japan .

Column three lists the prefecture in which the historic site is located; Column four contains a brief description. In the Appointment column there are two dates labeled HS and BHS . HS is the date on which the site was officially declared a Historic Site and BHS is the date on which it was designated a Special Historic Site . The last two columns contain the geo-coordinates and a picture.
