List of Japanese Imperial Residences
- List of Japanese Imperial Residences
This is a list of residences occupied by the Japanese Imperial Family, noting the seasons of the year they are traditionally occupied.
Members of the Japanese Imperial Family inhabit a range of residences around Japan. Some are official imperial palaces; others are used as private residences, although they are all owned and maintained by the state. Other imperial palaces are no longer residences (e.g. the Akasaka Palace). Some remain in irregular use for imperial occasions. Some of the Imperial Palaces and villas enjoy legal protection as national treasures such as Heijō Palace, which is even listed a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The occupied imperial residences are cared for and maintained by the Imperial Household Agency. Former palaces or sites are under the administration of various ministries or local authorities.
