The purpose of this paper is to analyze the characteristics of Industrial Heritage Sites listed as Registered Tangible Cultural Properties in Japan. The first step was to construct a database of Industrial Heritage Sites, based on an existing list of Registered Tangible Cultural Properties, covering also the aspects of conservation and utilization, since no such database existed.
Using this database, the sites were then analyzed in regard to different factors, such as area, criteria, scale, main structures, state of conservation, utilization, and type of industry. As a result, different characteristics were identified.
