The Shukyo Nenkan (Religious Yearbook), published annually by Japan's Agency for Cultural Affairs, the official government statistical compilation of self-reported religious organization membership Japan-wide, including the thirteen historic Kyoha Shinto (Sect Shinto) organizations; it is the primary source behind the combined membership figures reported for Sect Shinto.

Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier
1
Tier 1: the Japanese government's own primary annual statistical publication on religious organizations, self-reported by the organizations themselves; the yearbook's existence and scope were confirmed via the Agency's own English-language annual-report index page, but the specific 2020 line-item figures for Kyoha Shinto could not be extracted from the Japanese-language yearbook tables themselves.
