Following the revocation of Japan Heritage status for the “Ancient Capital of Western Japan,” which includes Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine and the Kii Castle Ruins spanning Fukuoka and Saga prefectures, six related local governments held their first meeting to discuss future measures. The revocation was due to insufficient tourism promotion from Dazaifu to surrounding areas, highlighting the need for stronger cooperation and improved local awareness. Further discussions, including the possibility of reapplying for certification, will continue. Source: NHK
