Claims, one by one

The text below is copied verbatim from the published record. Each claim names the source dossiers that carry it; caveats stay attached to the claim they qualify.

Claim 1 clm-8ab8a38705408b1b quantitative
Toyota launched Woven City's demonstration phase on 25 September 2025
Published field
snippet · verbatim
Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says
The Toyota Global Newsroom press release, dated 25 September 2025, announces the official launch of Woven City that same day: "Toyota Motor Corporation ('Toyota') and Woven by Toyota, Inc. ('WbyT') today announced the official launch of Toyota Woven City." The article also states residents have been moving in "since September 2025."
Caveat
No claim-specific caveat recorded

Sources carrying this claim

  1. Toyota Global Newsroom (operator)
Claim 2 clm-845be9ef7de872e8 descriptive
at its former Higashi-Fuji plant in Susono
Published field
snippet · verbatim
Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says
The operator's own About page states that Woven City occupies the former Higashi-Fuji Plant site in Susono, which Toyota vacated after relocating operations to Tohoku following the 2011 earthquake: "...migrating its Higashi-Fuji Plant operations in Susono to Tohoku."
Caveat
This detail appears on the operator's About page rather than the front page listed as the source, and Toyota's own 2025 launch announcement names only "Susono City, Shizuoka Prefecture" without mentioning the former plant.

Sources carrying this claim

  1. Woven City (operator)
Claim 3 clm-107aed00c4067062 descriptive
The first 'Weaver' residents — Toyota employees and their families — began moving in
Published field
snippet · verbatim
Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says
Quote: "Since September 2025, several Toyota Group employees and their families have begun living in Woven City as the first Weavers." The article also identifies 'Weavers' as the term for residents and visitors: "The second profile consists of residents and visitors, known as Weavers."
Caveat
The source does not give a specific number of employees or families who have actually moved in.

Claim 4 clm-a179f2846b043918 descriptive
autonomous mobility
Published field
snippet · verbatim
Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says
The launch article describes an autonomous delivery/mobility service running in Woven City: "Delivering shared vehicles directly to users through an autonomous service using self-driving robots (Guide Mobi)."
Caveat
The source describes this as one of several individual co-creation pilot projects rather than a single citywide autonomous-mobility system, and it does not confirm household ('in-home') robotics or hydrogen fuel cells as technologies being tested there.

Claim 5 clm-5d08ad64fb8b05a2 quantitative
General visitors are expected from FY2026.
Published field
snippet · verbatim
Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says
Quote: "General visitors are planned to be welcomed beginning in fiscal year 2026." This is a forward-looking plan, matching the entry's own forward-looking wording ("are expected"); the source does not state that general visitors have actually begun visiting.
Caveat
No claim-specific caveat recorded

Known limits of this passport
  • Publisher names and source languages have not yet been classified; domains are recorded without guessing.
  • Existing source notes are descriptive locators, not page- or paragraph-exact citations.
  • A missing archive, publication date or content hash is shown as null rather than inferred.
  • The project-level evidence grade ranks the strongest source in the entry; it is not a truth score for every claim.
