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.
