Visit the most compelling cultural
and nature sites in all of Japan—and the world!
In Japan's World Heritage Sites, readers are introduced to
the temples, gardens, castles and natural wonders for which Japan is so justly renowned—all of those now declared
to be Unesco World Heritage Sites. Author John Dougill describes each site in detail, stating why they were singled out
by Unesco, the current number and types of sites, the application process, how the sites have been selected, and how
difficult it is to be given the special status of a World Heritage Site.

Dougill traveled to all of the sites
in Japan to research this book. Because the Japanese archipelago extends from Siberia all the way down to Taiwan,
Dougill describes how his journey led him from the sub-Arctic to the sub-tropical zones. These are without a doubt the
most interesting sites that Japan has to offer, including the following:

-  Mount Fuji, Japan's tallest and
most sacred volcano. Located on Honshu Island near Tokyo, Mt. Fuji is considered the sacred symbol of Japan
- 
Himeji Castle, a monument from Japan's long feudal history. Also known as Egret Castle, because it looks like a bird
taking off in flight.
-  Horyu-ji Temple, the world's oldest surviving wooden structure—a center of Buddhist
learning that still serves as a seminary and monastery
-  Hiroshima Peace Memorial or Atomic-Bomb Dome—one
of the few structures to partially survive the atomic blast in 1945
-  The Ogasawara Islands, a remote archipelago
of over 30 islands—including Iwo Jima—that is home to rare wildlife and spectacular scenery

Readers will learn how Japan first became involved with the World Heritage Sites program back in 1993, the importance
of these designations, and their popularity in Japan, where they are visited by millions of people annually, both
Japanese and foreigners.
