Site history & evidence
What is documented here
Each kind of evidence on its own row, because they do not add up.
| Evidence | On record | What it shows |
|---|---|---|
| Site date | Dated from 822 CE On the timeline | A date for the site as recorded — not the start of worship, and not a floor on the tradition here. |
| Location | Recorded to the site On the atlas | A coordinate for the place. It locates the site; it does not draw its extent. |
| Dated activity | None recorded | A pin is a place, not an event. What happened at Kongōfuku-ji Temple, and when, is a separate claim, and this import holds none: it carries site locations, not dated activity. |

The nearest this collection holds, measured between recorded coordinates.
What this means
Computed from coordinates, not stated by any source. Nearness is geometry, not a connection: two sites a kilometre apart may never have shared a worshipper, a tradition or a century. Where either coordinate is recorded only to a district, the distance is rounded and says “about”.
