Jomon Prehistoric Sites in Northern Japan
The four prefectures of Hokkaido, Aomori, Iwate and Akita boast natural splendor and verdure as
great as those of the Shirakami-Sanchi and Shiretoko World Heritage areas.
Blessed with this rich natural environment, the Jomon Prehistoric Sites in Northern Japan serve as important
cultural heritage sites that have passed down the livelihoods and spirituality of people from the Jomon
period, who led sedentary lifeways based on hunting, fishing and gathering over a period of more than 10,000
years.
Recognized for their outstanding value, the Jomon Prehistoric Sites in Northern Japan were inscribed on the
UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List on July 27, 2021.
