Evidence

Moz Domain Authority 14/100 vs category average 44 / leader 94 - limited third-party links, so AI systems rarely encounter mentions of the brand.

The homepage meta description reads "ABOUT サウスワードカヤッククラブについて マングローブ探険から海へ。ローカルビーチ散策まで楽しめるツアー" (Meta description too short (3 words). OG description present but brief) - this is the summary AI engines are most likely to quote.

Structured data on the homepage: 2 JSON-LD block(s), Organization schema, Breadcrumb/Website schema, og:title, og:description, og:type, Twitter cards, canonical. Adding FAQ schema would further help AI crawlers parse the brand's identity.
