Coordinate error

{{geodata-check}}

The following coordinate fixes are needed for;

"4 Izumi (和泉) Takashi Beach (高師のはま) 1853 / 7 Izumi Province 35°40′39.4″N 139°47′14.7″E"

The coordinates directs one to Tokyo, while Izumi Province was in modern day Osaka prefecture. Correct coordinate are: 34°31′36″N 135°25′41″E

"7 Ise (伊勢) Mount Asama, Teahouses on the Mountain Pass (朝熊山 峠の茶屋, Asamasan-tōge no chaya) 1853 / 7 Ise Province 36°24′0″N 138°31′0″E"

The coordinates directs one to Mount Asama (浅間山) on the border of Gunma and Nagano prefectures, very far from Mount Asama (朝熊山) in Ise, Mie Prefecture, which is what the print shows. Correct coordinate are: 34°28′40″N 136°45′36″E

"8 Shima (志摩) Mount Hiyori and Toba Harbor (日和山 鳥羽湊, Hiyoriyama Toba minato) 1853 / 7 Shima Province 35°41′10.5″N 139°46′26.2″E"

Another one that directs to Tokyo while Shima is in Mie prefecture. Correct coordinate are: 34°29′06″N 136°50′25″E

"18 Awa (安房　小湊内浦) Kominato, Uchiura (小湊 内浦, Kominato Uchiura) 1853 / 8 Awa Province 34°21′36.2″N 133°19′27.1″E"

Coordinates point to Hiroshima prefecture, Awa is in Chiba. It is becoming increasingly obvious that someone did not double check their work as there's even a link to the article on Awa province here that has a map where it should be. Correct coordinate are: 35°07′47″N 140°11′33″E

"22 Omi (近江) Lake Biwa, Ishiyama Temple (琵琶湖 石山寺, Biwako Ishiyamadera) 1853 / 7 Omi Province 35°20′0″N 136°10′0″E"

While the coordinates at least correctly point to Shiga prefecture, they're in the middle(!) of Lake Biwa, which you only need to look at the print to see is not accurate. Neither are they close to Ishiyamadera, which is south of the lake (coordinates in northern part). Correct coordinate are: 34°57′38″N 135°54′20″E

These are the ones I found with a quick look through all the links after noticing some coordinates showed a totally different part of Japan. I can't guarantee everything else is accurate, but at least they should be in the right province.. Whoever added the coordinates seem to have given up after number 23; I can see why.

Thanks for the emendations; all are  Done. (I've tweaked your suggested coordinates for No. 7 to more closely correspond to the location of the "mountain pass".) You seem to be pretty good at this sort of thing; if you come up with any other corrections—or with suitable coordinates for any of Nos. 24–69—feel free to make the required changes yourself.
