Hi Akanji, it would be great if Japan would participate! Maarten just set up the infrastructure for Japan based on the English wikipedia lists (thanks!), see http://toolserver.org/~erfgoed/api/api.php?action=search&format=html&srcountry=jp-nhs. However, the lists still have to be transformed into templated tables further.
For the lists in Japanese, I note that such lists already exist on the Japanese Wikipedia ( http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%97%A5%E6%9C%AC%E3%81%AE%E5%8F%B2%E8%B7%A1%E4%B8%80%E8%A6%A7) but they are in raw Wikitext. I also see that you already worked out pretty nice templated tables on Wikimedia Commons (i.e. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2013_in_Japan/Hokkaido ) but I would suggest that you transfer these lists to the Japanese Wikipedia. We maintain in all countries the lists as much as possible on the Wikipedias - because these lists are also relevant encyclopedic information. When the lists are being improved (for example, descriptions being edited, or coordinates added), that immediately improves Wikipedia too! It is still a lot of work, and I hope you get some help too. Good luck, and please ask questions when there's anything others here can help you with.
