The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q865156. Authority coordinates are 35.862, 139.971. 2 of 4 selected statements include explicit references; 2 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.
