Locals carefully preserve them in excellent condition so that the rich history and traditions of the Takayama Festivals can be handed down to future generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Japanese government has designated the yatai used in the Takayama Festival as \u201cTangible Folk-Cultural Properties.\u201d They\u2019re also on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
