Was Mount Fuji in Japan rejected by UNESCO many times before and could not be included in the world cultural heritage?

The examination and approval of world cultural heritage is very strict. There is a very important nomination process and a strict examination and approval process, during which a difficult defense is required. Japanese folks began to actively promote the application for Mount Fuji in the 199s, and initially applied for the World Natural Heritage. In 23, the government removed Mount Fuji from the list of candidates at the seminar. Since then, people have turned to apply for cultural heritage, and in 212, they were finally recommended by the government. As the application for the World Heritage is made by the state, the result of the application for the World Heritage may be related to many factors such as the preparation process and the current situation of scenic spots. There are 16 world cultural heritages in Japan and 43 in China. To be precise, it is unreasonable to be rejected many times. Whether a place can become a world cultural heritage is related to the self-value of the scenic spot and the government's emphasis on applying for the world heritage. For example, the site of Yuandadu, which was successfully applied for last year, and the Silk Road, which is to be applied for this year. It is only a matter of time before Mount Fuji becomes a world cultural heritage because of its symbol, history, culture and world popularity in Japan. It may be written as the 17th world cultural heritage in Japan this year. In the past, Mount Fuji did not successfully apply for the World Heritage, and it may not have reached some standards in the World Heritage List. Below are the requirements of natural heritage in the World Heritage List for your reference.

Natural heritage projects listed in the World Heritage List must meet one or more of the following criteria and be approved: 1. They constitute outstanding examples representing important stages in the history of earth evolution; 2. It constitutes an outstanding example representing the important geological process, biological evolution process and the relationship between human beings and the natural environment; 3. Unique, rare or wonderful natural phenomena, landforms or areas with rare natural beauty; 4. The habitat of the surviving rare or endangered species of animals and plants
