Article 1 (Overview of the Service)

The Service is an information service intended to present the municipalities and islands of Japan quietly, as a single index, rather than as a guide to tourist destinations. The Service does not recommend, solicit, or guarantee visits or travel to any particular place.

  1. The geographic information, administrative boundaries, terrain, and other data provided by the Service are based on the National Land Numerical Information (KSJ) of Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, data provided by the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan (GSI), and other publicly available sources. Such source data is used in accordance with the terms of use of each provider.
  2. The information presented on the Service is based on information available at the time of its creation. We do not guarantee its accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or fitness for any particular purpose.
  3. You shall use the information on the Service at your own responsibility and shall not rely on it as the sole basis for any decision regarding travel, relocation, or otherwise.

We may change all or part of the content of the Service, or interrupt, suspend, or terminate the provision of the Service, without prior notice to users. We shall not be liable for any damage incurred by users as a result.
