Tomioka Silk Mill and Related Sites
「富岡製糸場と絹産業遺産群」は、平成19年1月世界遺産暫定一覧表に追加記載されました。その後、平成24年8月には日本政府が「富岡製糸場と絹産業遺産群」の推薦を決め、ユネスコ世界遺産センターへ推薦書が提出されました。（暫定版：平成24年9月提出、正式版：平成25年1月提出）
提出された推薦書にもとづいて、世界遺産委員会の諮問機関である国際記念物遺跡会議（ICOMOS：イコモス）が書類審査をおこない、平成25年9月には、現地調査が実施されました。
平成26年4月にはイコモスより「富岡製糸場と絹産業遺産群」は、「世界遺産一覧表」への記載が適当である旨、いわゆる「登録」の勧告がありました。そして、同年6月カタールのドーハで開かれた第38回世界遺産委員会で「富岡製糸場と絹産業遺産群」は「世界遺産一覧表」へ記載され、世界遺産登録となりました。
