• I'm not a native Japanese speaker, but it seems to me that the cited source the word 珍しい ("rare"), and therefore doesn't verify the hook's much stronger claim that this is the "only" such tripoint. intforce (talk) 23:12, 2 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Intforce:, Oh yeah, Mezurashii is "rare", oops. I changed the hooks. To fit the source. Thanks for pointing out. Though, I feel like I saw a source saying it though. Warm Regards, Miminity (Talk?) (me contribs) 01:01, 3 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
