Many of the existing manzai in each place across Japan have found successors and been revived, but Mikawa-manzai (Anjo City, Nishio City and so on in Aichi Prefecture) and Echizen-manzai (Echizen city in Fukui Prefecture), whose time of formation is said to have been old, were designated as the nation's significant intangible folklore cultural assets in 1995, and so was Owari-manzai (Chita City in Aichi Prefecture) in 1996.
現在ある、各地の萬歳には継承者を捜し出して復興させたものが多いが、成立時期が古いとされる三河萬歳（愛知県安城市・西尾市など）と越前萬歳（福井県越前市）が1995年（平成7年）に、尾張萬歳（愛知県知多市）が1996年（平成8年）にそれぞれ国の重要無形民俗文化財に指定された。
