Well, as to my kowledge, the actual location of the ancient Yamatai is highly argued　among scholars, and could well have been located in the vicinity of contemporary Nara (which is what I am leaning towards). But Nara of course is not particularly close to the "devil's sea", either...

But then again, Yamatai is a semi-mythologial kingdom for which we have essentially one believable source that it even existed. So, if they take that amount of historical freedom, I personally don't take issue with it.
