If a dance can be a heritage, how many should be in the world ? Thousands for sure.

How many times have I told UNESCO to just put the whole precious Island of Japan as a World Heritage site. It will save us time.

Because of countries like Japan that make the UNESCO certification meaningless.

Ah yes,this country has an obsession with the WH. I’ll say to better declare the whole country and all it’s people world heritage so we finally get over with it.

The succession for the heritage tradition is a big challenge as the Japanese community is facing the aging population and its overall decline.

First time I came to Japan it's the Japanese Girls Hat Dance that made me realize Japan has a culture that one must experience to fully understand. Lovin it!

Love these festivals! Street food, alcohol, music and dancing, people smiling. And it is cultural.
Fighto!
Hopefully this leads to even more millions of foreign tourists flocking to Japan to enjoy the UNESCO-endorsed culture!
