埼玉縣川越市從江戶時代至明治時代所建的土藏造商家。以厚實耐火的土牆、金屬補強的門扉和白色灰泥牆垣為特色。保存了充滿江戶風情的街景，與時鐘樓一同成為傳承江戶時代風貌的珍貴建築遺產。

位於岡山縣倉敷市的江戶、明治時代白壁土藏造街景。因棉花貿易而繁榮的商人町建築群，以統一的白色灰泥牆面和黑瓦屋頂為特色。沿川的柳樹林映襯之下，體現了日本美學意境。如今改作美術館與畫廊等文化設施，成為文化發信基地。

A group of Edo and Meiji-period white-plaster buildings preserved in Kurashiki's Bikan District, Okayama. Along the Asahi River, merchant houses, storehouses, and townhouses with lime-plaster white walls form a cohesive townscape. About 450 historic structures exist within a 1.2km radius. Designated as Japan's first Important Preservation District for Groups of Historic Buildings in 1979, it is highly valued for its beautiful white walls and exemplary conservation practices.

Two post towns along the Nakasendo route in Nagano Prefecture. Their Edo-period streetscapes are exceptionally well-preserved, with original inn buildings and administrative structures intact. The arrangement of wooden structures and storefront configurations exemplify traditional highway commerce architecture. Protected through conservation efforts since the 1970s, they represent Japan's most significant preserved old road landscape districts.

日本都市（特別是京都）常見的傳統木造民宅建築。以狹窄的臨街面與深長的室內空間為特徵，形狀狹長如鰻魚睡床，故又稱「鰻床」。建築內設有通道式廊間與坪庭（中庭），藉以引進光線與空氣流通。近年來保存與再生工作趨於活躍，許多町家被改造為咖啡館或民宿等住宿設施。

室町時代發展而成的日本住宅建築樣式。以壁龕（床之間）、違棚、付書院、明障子等為特徵，鋪滿榻榻米的房間構成成為現代和室的原型。銀閣寺的東求堂是早期代表作，確立了日本住宅空間的美學意識與格式規範。

以榻榻米為基礎的日本建築樣式，榻榻米是日本建築的特色地板材料。這種矩形的鋪墊由稻草和燈芯草製成，作為室內空間的基準。房間的大小以榻榻米的尺寸來表現，象徵日本建築美學與生活文化的融合。至今仍作為和室的基本要素被保留下來。
