Overall: 
Nice read, the article has potential for further expansion. There are some redundant passages related to toponymy. The cited sources are mostly okay; I had to use DeepL to translate Japanese websites and documents. One of the cited sources is a discussion forum however the website and the responder sound authoritative. No copyvios detected. The image is admissible although engaging. The hook is cited from a Japanese folk website. The hook is corroborated here QPQ done. Well done
