World Heritage Coin Sets 1. The Buddhist Monuments in the Horyuji Area
Horyuji contains the world’s oldest surviving wooden structures, conveying images of Japan as it exited during the Asuka Period (end of 6th -beginning of 8th century). Horyuji is composed of the Western Precinct (Saiin Garan), which is centered around the Five-Story Pagoda and the Main Hall, and the Eastern Precinct (Toin Garan), which is arranged around the Hall of Visions.
