- 法隆寺地區很多佛教寺廟，如法隆寺和法起寺都建於西元七世紀，它們也是世界上最古老的木構造建築，其中法隆寺的大殿、五重塔、中門和回廊具有早期的佛教木造建築風格。法隆寺也是日本佛教文化的寶庫，約 200 種文化資產被指定為國寶和重要文化財 There are around 48 Buddhist monuments in the Horyu-ji area, in Nara Prefecture. Several date from the late 7th or early 8th century, making them some of the oldest surviving wooden buildings in the world. These masterpieces of wooden architecture are important not only for the history of art, since they illustrate the adaptation of Chinese Buddhist architecture and layout to Japanese culture, but also for the history of religion, since their construction coincided with the introduction of Buddhism to Japan from China by way of the Korean peninsula.
- 法隆寺地域的佛教建築物 (法隆寺地域の仏教建造物) 是指位在日本奈良縣生駒郡斑鳩町的法隆寺及法起寺等寺院的總稱。法隆寺及其他一連串的佛寺，在明治時代初期的廢佛毀釋運動中受到了很大的打擊。但後來由於政府內部的政策改變，包括法隆寺金堂、五重塔等的建築物在 1897 年的古社寺保存法之下，被指定為國家指定文化財。第二次世界大戰後，日本政府在 1950 年制定了文化財保護法，其制定的契機即是法隆寺金堂火災所造成的文物損失。在此法的保護下，這些佛寺被登錄為國寶及重要文化財。其後，在1993年被登錄為世界文化遺產 The UNESCO World Heritage Site Buddhist Monuments in the Horyu-ji Area includes a variety of buildings found in Horyu-ji and Hokki-ji in Ikaruga, Nara Prefecture, Japan. These buildings were designated in 1993 along with the surrounding landscape, under several criteria. The structures inscribed are some of the oldest extant wooden buildings in the world, dating from the 7th to 8th centuries. Many of the monuments are also National Treasures of Japan, and reflect an important age of Buddhist influence in Japan. The structures include 21 buildings in the Horyu-ji East Temple, 9 in the West Temple, 17 monasteries and other buildings, and the pagoda in Hokki-ji.
