We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

Amami-Ōshima Island, Tokunoshima Island, northern part of Okinawa Island, and Iriomote Island — The entry states the site was first proposed as a candidate in 2003 and added to Japan's Tentative List in 2016. The phrasing 'first proposed as a candidate in 2003' is misleading because the official Tentative List submission was in 2016, not 2003; the correc
Amami-Ōshima Island, Tokunoshima Island, northern part of Okinawa Island, and Iriomote Island — The entry claims the site was renamed from Ryūkyū Shotō to Amami–Ryukyu, then to its current name in 2016. In reality, the intermediate name 'Amami-Ryukyu' was used from 2014 onward, not after a late 2015 UNESCO recommendation; the timeline for the renaming is
Ancient Capitals of Asuka and Fujiwara — The entry states the serial nomination was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2026, but as of 2025 this has not occurred and is speculative, not a confirmed fact.
Arafune-Azumaya Cold Storage Facilities — The Arafune-Azumaya Cold Storage Facilities are not a single UNESCO World Heritage component; the UNESCO serial nomination 'Tomioka Silk Mill and Related Sites' includes the Arafune Cold Storage Facility, but the Azumaya Cold Storage Facility is not part of th
Arafune-Azumaya Cold Storage Facilities — The entry incorrectly combines the Arafune and Azumaya facilities as a single UNESCO-listed site; the Azumaya Cold Storage Facility is a separate National Historic Site and is not a UNESCO World Heritage component.
Chūson-ji — The claim that the Konjiki-dō was 'the first structure designated a National Treasure of Japan' is incorrect; it was designated in 1951, not the first under the 1897 law.
Chūson-ji — The claim that 'the mummy of Fujiwara no Motohira was identified as he is known to have died of a cerebral hemorrhage' is not supported by established historical or forensic consensus; it is speculative.
Daigo-ji — The entry states 'His son Toyotomi Hideyori renovated the complex, completing relocation of the Kondō in 1600.' Historically, Toyotomi Hideyori was a child at that time, and the relocation was carried out by others.
Daigo-ji — The entry says 'In the Edo period, abbot Takaen climbed Mount Ōmine with 3,000 mountain ascetics, promoting Shugendō.' The name 'Takaen' is not a standard historical figure associated with Daigo-ji; the well-known abbot was Gien.
Ebisugahana Shipyard — The shipyard is stated to have opened in 1865, but the first warship, Heitatsu Maru, is claimed to have been launched in December 1855, which is impossible if the shipyard opened later; the Heitatsu Maru was actually launched at a different location or earlier
Ebisugahana Shipyard — The Heitatsu Maru is described as 25 meters long and launched in December 1855, but historical records indicate it was launched in 1856 and was approximately 24 meters long.
Enryaku-ji — The DID YOU KNOW section states that the ceremony for yakuza leaders led to the resignation of 'all representative directors,' but historically only the head priest and some executives resigned, not all representative directors.
Fujisan Hongū Sengen Taisha — The shrine's primary kami is Konohanasakuya-hime, and Asama no Okami is an alternate name or aspect of her, not a separate deification of the mountain; the phrasing implies two distinct kami, which is inaccurate.
Fujisan Hongū Sengen Taisha — The shrine's grounds do not encompass the entire summit of Mount Fuji from the 8th stage upward; the shrine-owned land is limited to specific parcels such as the summit area including Okunomiya shrine.
