Thank you for your action. However, it appears that the following Wayspot indicated by @ARPeggioRev2 and @AgentMAenlight still remains.

朝霞市岡3丁目 / 35.810301,139.60622
The image of the Wayspot is a Bulletin Board, but there is no bulletin board at this location, only a vending machine. They typed “掲示板(Bulletin Board)” at the end of the title to mislead machine learning, probably with the intention of replacing the image after approval.

The Wayspot image has been changed to the entrance of the store, but the intelmap shows an image of the bulletin board. I assume this is probably because the switch is made only on the PokémonGO side and not on the Ingress side.

朝霞市岡3丁目 木製Table Board / 35.813009,139.603042
Picnic tables are set up at this location, but the intelmap shows an image of a bulletin board. There is also an anomaly at this Wayspot.

岡3丁目 テーブル / 35.813009, 139.603038
This one exists almost in overlap with Wayspot above, and the image has been removed. The “掲示板(Bulletin Board)” remains at the end of the title.

This Wayspot also shows an image of the bulletin board on the intel map.

根岸台2丁目 NO.⑯⑰ 掲示板 / 35.807407,139.604719
I found a new problematic one. A very crude composite photo is shown on the intelmap.

Best regards.

I found a Wayspot that has a issue and I am reporting it additionally.

The image shows a mass-produced manhole cover commonly used in Asaka City. I do not know how this Wayspot was registered and edited. However, the description states the following.

Original Japanese text

自動審査機能を活用すればどこでもポケストを作れます。申請したい対象のタイトルに「掲示板」と書き、適当な掲示板の写真で申請し、自動審査で通ったら正しい写真を追加しいいねを押して入れ替え、ヘルプチャットからタイトルを正しく変えておけばOK！

English translation text

You can create a PokéStop anywhere by using the automatic review function. Write “ Bulletin Board” in the title of the target you want to submit, submit an application with an appropriate bulletin board photo, and if the automatic review passes, add the correct photo, click “Like” to replace it, and change the title correctly from the help chat!

I leave it to wayfarer team to decide whether to remove this Wayspot or just the text of the description. Best regards.
