The Tokyo Metropolitan Government architectural structure of historical value newly selected

Based on the Tokyo Metropolitan Landscape Ordinance, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government (TMG) designates historically valuable structures excluding cultural properties that are, in principle, over 50 years old and significantly important in terms of Tokyo’s cityscapes as “architectural structures of historic value.” The TMG has newly designated Nikkobashi Bridge as an architectural structure of historical value.
This new addition brings the total number of the historically valuable architectural structures designated by the TMG to 96.
