3. Editorial Principles (Summary)
- Primary-source verification: We always reference original materials published by tourism associations, official venue websites, government bodies, and industry organizations (such as the Michelin Guide).
- Citation transparency: Each article links to the public materials, official venue sites, and SNS posts referenced.
- Distinguishing fact from inference: Confirmed information and unconfirmed information are clearly separated; unconfirmed items are marked “(to be verified)”.
- Regional perspective: We provide context grounded in the realities of Wakayama’s five areas—Wakayama City, Arida & Gobo, Shirahama & Kushimoto, Kumano & Nachi, and Mt. Koya.
- Careful multilingual translation: Rather than relying on machine translation, our editorial team produces translations that respect the cultural context of each language.
