About this page

This page explains the Special Measures Law for Preservation of Historic Environment in Ancient Capitals (Historic Capitals Preservation Law). The law aims to preserve historic buildings, archaeological sites, and their surrounding natural environment as shared cultural assets for future generations. Currently, 10 municipalities designated as "ancient capitals," including Kyoto, Nara, and Kamakura, implement conservation measures such as designating Historic Environment Preservation Areas and restricting development activities. The law features comprehensive planning, development regulation, compensation for landowners, and expert deliberation mechanisms to effectively preserve the historic character of ancient capitals.
