100 Selected Historical and Cultural Assets of Fishing Villages to Preserve for the Future未来に残したい漁業漁村の歴史文化財産百選
About this collection
The "100 Selected Historical and Cultural Assets of Fishing Villages to Preserve for the Future" was chosen by the Fisheries Agency in 2006. It highlights fishing village cultural assets nationwide that are historically and culturally valuable. The selection includes traditional facilities, buildings, shrines, temples, and historic sites. Not all are directly used for fisheries; many cultural assets related to fishing villages are included.
Overall, the selection emphasizes local characteristics and does not necessarily focus on tourist-friendly sites. However, as a collection to pass down fishing village culture to future generations, its significance greatly contributes to history. Ships are not included, but some intangible cultural assets such as fishing methods are selected. Reviewing this list offers a glimpse into the profound culture of Japanese fisheries.
Popular tourist spots among these include Himeshima Seven Mysteries (Oita Prefecture), Munakata Taisha Shrine (Fukuoka Prefecture), Sumiyoshi Shrine (Hyogo Prefecture), and Lake Biwa (Shiga Prefecture). In recent years, many cultural assets have been revalued due to their selection, and the project’s aim to preserve valuable culture for future generations has been a remarkable success.
