The UNESCO World Heritage Committee, meeting at its 48th session in Busan, has urged Japan to improve its exhibits at the Sado Island Gold Mines so they present the mines’ full history. The committee has repeatedly urged Tokyo to better reflect the full history of its other World Heritage site: the Hashima Coal Mine that is part of the Sites of Japan’s Meiji Industrial Revolution.
