Japan accepted the UNESCO World Heritage Convention on 30 June 1992.[1] As of October 2024, twenty-six properties have been inscribed on the World Heritage List: twenty-one cultural sites and five natural sites.[1] A further five sites and one site extension have been submitted for future inscription and were on the Tentative List as of 2017.[1]
The Tentative List consists of sites previously nominated, but not yet inscribed.
