» A UNESCO advisory committee has recommended deferring registration of the Hiraizumi area. In its recommendation, ICOMOS says the historical importance of the Hiraizumi area has yet to be fully proved. Hoping that Hiraizumi's rejection also will be overturned at this year's World Heritage Committee meeting like Iwami Ginzan last year, the Cultural Affairs Agency intends to appeal to UNESCO ambassadors from the 21 countries that are committee members this year.
