Japan has 11 cultural heritages. For example, Horyuji, Himejijyo, Genbaku Dome and so on. Horyuji and Himejijyo were registered as cultural world heritages in 1993 for the first time in Japan and Genbaku Dome was registered as cultural world heritage in 1996.
Horyuji is in Nara and this temple was built in 607, so it is very old building. The reason it was registered as cultural heritage was because it has many cultural assets which attracted many people and it is important building in cultural history. 
Himejijyo is in Hyogo and this castle is very wonderful. The reason it was registered as cultural world heritage was because its architecture technique was excellent.
Genbaku Dome is in Hiroshima and this building tells us that the war is very terrible. Many people wanted to register it as world heritage, so they started to collect many people’s signatures and their dream has come true.
