# UNDERGROUND — Japan field atlas: complete source data

Research snapshot: 2026-10-16.

377 destination/event records; 43 source-material and online-reference notes. 231 approximate address pins.

## Reading this file

The first bracketed label in each original bullet is its **discovery source**. It is preserved for filtering and sorting; it is not an independently verified descriptive tag. Publications and online materials are sources, not destinations. They appear in the source ledger below and are excluded from the map directory.

**verified** means a cited source supports identity or the specifically described facts. It does not certify every original claim, opening hours, stock, future access, or exact location. **needs-recheck** marks incomplete, conflicting, historical or time-sensitive evidence. **unverified** means independent evidence was not established. **closed** requires cited closure evidence; consult the individual scope.

Destination evidence: 4 closed, 159 needs-recheck, 8 unverified, 206 verified.

All plotted coordinates are approximate GSI address matches derived from cited addresses. They are not entrance-level survey points. Unresolved places do not receive invented pins. An area circle in the viewer refers to a district, not a business.

The supplied Markdown is reproduced in full at the end. Original claims are preserved as notes even when research contradicts them. Research citations and correction notes explain those differences.
