古代の遺跡と「原風景」の景観、守られた 「飛鳥・藤原」世界遺産へ

The Asuka-Fujiwara region, rich in ancient ruins and preserved natural landscapes, is on track to be designated a UNESCO World Heritage site. This area in Japan's Nara Prefecture offers a unique glimpse into the country's early history and its original, untouched scenery. The designation recognizes the successful efforts to protect both the historical remnants and the surrounding environment that define this culturally significant landscape. The proposed site encompasses key archaeological locations and the traditional rural scenery that has remained largely unchanged for centuries.

The designation highlights the importance of preserving both tangible historical sites and the intangible cultural landscapes that represent a nation's heritage.
