Local governments and economic organizations in the four prefectures of Shikoku have established a council to register the "Shikoku Pilgrimage," which consists of 88 sacred sites in Shikoku and a 1,400-kilometer pilgrimage road, as a world heritage site. On the 9th, the governors visited the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology and submitted a request to the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Hagita.
According to the request, "'Shikoku Pilgrimage' has a remarkable universal value as evidence to convey the form of faith that rescues various individuals, which is rare in the world, and is suitable for a World Heritage Site." We are requesting that you add it to the provisional list.
After the request, Governor Hamada of Kagawa Prefecture told reporters, "Minister Hagiuda said,'I'm expecting you, so I want you to do your best.' It's valuable, so I'll show it to the world and a lot of people will come. I would be very grateful if you could do it. "
In addition, Mr. Hayato Saeki, chairman of the Shikoku Economic Federation, who is the chairman of the council, said, "Minister Hagita said,'I think there is a great possibility that it will be on the provisional list. I can expect it.' I received a motivation. "
