Japan is home to many World Heritage sites, such as natural heritage sites coloured by the four seasons
and cultural heritage sites steeped in history.
Let's go on a journey to discover the World Heritage Sites that stir our hearts.
Mt.Fuji, which has had a profound influence on the Japanese view of nature and culture, is a symbol of Japan and a world-class Japanese heritage.
Mt.Fuji has been inscribed as a World Heritage Site in recognition of
its cultural value as an object of mountain worship and a source of Japanese art, such as ukiyo-e woodblock prints.
Cherry blossom in spring, the deep green in summer, the coloured leaves in autumn and the snowy
landscape in winter. Mt.Fuji shows its beauty in all four seasons throughout the year. Let's take a trip to the World Heritage Site of Mt Fuji, which continues to inspire visitors today and in the past.
The most popular ancient capital "Kyoto", which attracts many tourists from all over the world, has been the stage for many eras of Japanese history. Walking through the millennium-ancient capital of Kyoto, you can travel
back in time to various periods in Japan's history.
Even today, the streets of Kyoto are lined with historical buildings that have coloured the times, and the entire town is a World Heritage Site in its entirety.
In addition to the historical buildings, the Japanese culture of kimonos, paintings and tea ceremonies, as well as the taste of Japanese cuisine made from seasonal ingredients, are also attractive attractions of a trip

Let us guide you on a trip to Kyoto, a special World Heritage town that will grace your heart just by visiting.
Shirakawa-go is a World Heritage Site where 100 gassho-style villages of various sizes blend into the surrounding nature, creating a nostalgic picture-postcard landscape. The beautiful scenery of traditional houses dotted
across the tranquil countryside can be described as the original landscape of Japan.
Gassho-zukuri is one of most famous and distinctive architectural styles. The name derives from its resemblance to the way people
put their palms together for pray.
The gassho-zukuri, a unique building method that does not use a single nail, symbolises the wisdom and culture of the people who live in harmony with the natural environment and
is a valuable architectural heritage of Shirakawa-go that should be preserved for the future.
Nara has three World Heritage Sites: Houryuu-ji Temple, Ancient Nara and the Kii Mountain Range.
Especially Ancient Nara, Japanese oldest capital, is the most popular tourist spot that has handed down the art, culture
and thought of ancient Japan, and the entire town is registered as a World Heritage Site.
The streets of Ancient Nara, which all over the world travellers once admired as 'the end point of the Silk Road', have been
so modern and charming town for 1,400 years.
The historical buildings that have coloured the city's history for as long as 1,400 years and the natural scenery of the four seasons still attract many travellers, and
the pleasant breeze blowing in Ancient Nara invites us longing for the romance of prehistoric times.
Hiroshima has two World Heritage Sites.
The first one is the Atomic Bomb Dome in the center of Hiroshima, registered as a World Heritage Site as a witness to the history of the first atomic bomb dropped in the world
in 1945, and also as a symbol of prayer for the abolition of nuclear weapons and lasting peace.
Another one is Itsukushima Shrine in Miyajima. The vivid vermilion-painted temple standing in the Seto Inland Sea is
one of Japan's three most spectacular sights. Itsukushima Shrine changes its mysterious appearance with the ebb and flow of the waves, season after season or hour after hour.
A tour around the two World Heritage
Sites of the Atomic Bomb Dome and Miyajima is a popular sightseeing plan for Hiroshima travel.
Yakushima, located south of Kagoshima, is the island to be inscribed as first World Natural Heritage site in Japan.
It is known as 'Alps of the Sea' with region of 1,800 m high mountains. The natural landscape changes
with altitude and the diverse flora and fauna that inhabit it. It is a treasure trove of nature where you can enjoy the breath of primitive times to your heart's content.
Trekking through the primeval forest is
one of the most popular activities on Yakushima. The scenery of giant trees, moss-covered rocks and valleys that have been here for thousands of years is just like something out of a film. You have to come to Yakushima
to encounter this spectacular scenery, which is far beyond our imagination.
