Second, their structure and distribution are masterpiece, and they represent important historic era. They include Japanese very famous temples, such as, "kiyomizudera","kinkakuji", and "enryakuji". However, other temples that are near them have become bad condition. So, Japanese government plans other temples will be registered on UNESCO's World Heritage list.
