30 years since Shirakami Sanchi became a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site
秋田県と青森県の山が集まっている所は、白神山地と呼ばれています
The area where the mountains of Akita and Aomori prefectures come together is called Shirakami Sanchi.
A large beech forest that is rare in the world remains in its natural state.
In 1993, it became Japan’s first UNESCO World Heritage Site, along with Yakushima in Kagoshima Prefecture.
On the 11th, a ceremony was held in Fujisato Town, Akita Prefecture, to commemorate 30 years since it became a World Natural Heritage Site.
白神山地に来る人は、毎年少なくなっています
The number of people coming to Shirakami Sanchi is decreasing every year.
In 2022, there were about 16,200 people, about 20% of the peak number.
The cause seems to be that the course that enters the mountain from Akita Prefecture is not easy enough to walk.
Another problem is that the guides who guide people around the mountains are getting older.
