It was the first successful adaptation of the western industrial technology by a non-western nation. The monuments were selected for inscription on the UNESCO World Heritage List in July, 2015. Two of the locations are in Fukuoka Prefecture - Miike Coal Mine in Omuta City and Yawata Steel Works of Kitakyushu City.
