Additionally, this 'Japan Accounts' included the almost correct information on Japan's geography; for example, gold was mined in the 'Oshu region' in the east, and silver in another island in the west of Japan, which appeared to be Tsushima Island although it referred to partly different descriptions from true fact, including the one that there were many rhinoceroses and elephants in Japan.
また、この「日本伝」では、「「東の奥洲」で黄金を産出し、対馬のことと思われる「西の別島で白銀を産出する」など、日本の地理などの情報は全体的にほぼ正確に伝えているが、「犀、象が多い」など事実と異なった記述も一部ある。
