Japanese History
Unfortunately I have run into various ways of dividing Japanese history. Usually the years they give for particular times may differ by several decades. Below is the best I've been able to come up with so far.I find it quite annoying when history books cannot agree among themselves over something like this.
Jomon period 10,000 BCE-300BCE
Yayoi period 300BCE-300CE
Tumulus period 300CE-552CE
Asuka Era 552-710 CE
Nara Era: 710-794CE
Heian Era: 794-1185CE
Kamakura Era: 1185-1333CE
Muromachi Era: 1333-1587CE
Momoyama: 1587-1603CE
Edo Era: 1603-1867CE
Meiji Era: 1867-1911CE
Taisho Era: 1911-1925CE
Showa Era: 1925-1989CE
Heisei Era: 1989-CE
