An identifier for a range of Japan-related items (and yet-to-be-created items, eg [2]), somewhat promotional in nature but in principle reliable (Japan Tourism Agency (Q6157871) is an agency of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (Q1376196)), and valuable not least for its multilingual nature (currently Japanese, English, and Chinese; "tagengo-db" (多言語) leaves open the possibility of additional language support in the future); thank you, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 17:28, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
