Japan has an astounding heritage of castles, shrines and temples, natural and historic sites. Nihon Isan, “Japan Heritage”, designates a number of Japanese cultural properties, from world-known places of interests to more obscure hidden sights.
The Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO)’s special Japanese Heritage website offers viewers an incredible journey, to experience the true value of cultural heritage, along with a commentary on the history and culture unique to every region, through a series of beautiful videos.
Thanks to the state-of-the-art definition of the images, you can experience the charm of the cultural properties with a never-experienced-before sense of realism. You will also find information on hotels, gourmet foods and attractions, which will be useful when you are finally allowed to visit the sites.
