This study focuses on the fact that many of the roles played by local residents and world heritage guidance facilities in conducting World Heritage activities are common, based on recent trends in World Heritage sites. This is an attempt to clarify what kind of effect will occur in World Heritage activities. In this study, Wakamikotei, which is a guidance facility for the Honederamura Shoen Iseki registered in the provisional list of documents of The World Heritage Sites: Hiraizumi, is treated as a survey site, and interview surveys and literature surveys are conducted with the residents' organizations that operate Wakamikotei. As a result, at Wakamikotei, the intangible value of the Honederamura Shoen Iseki and the cultural connection with the World Heritage Site: Hiraizumi are visualized, and along with this, new relationships with other organizations are created. From the above results, it was clarified that the participation of local residents in the World Heritage Guidance Facility greatly contributes to World Heritage activities, such as visualizing the relevance and intangible value of each cultural good.
