Tips
- Always confirm the final route, transit disruptions, walking paths, accessibility, and arrival time in a navigation app before departure.
Troubleshooting
- If nearby results look wrong, check location permission and zoom level before trusting the list.
- If directions do not open correctly, retry from the place detail page and confirm the destination name.
- If hours, access, or facilities matter for a visit, confirm them with the official source.
Privacy, accuracy, or availability notes
- Location permission improves nearby and direction workflows but is not required for browsing place pages.
- Map markers, facilities, routes, and nearby suggestions may simplify real-world geography.
- Official temple and shrine sources remain the authority for hours, access, events, and goshuin rules.
