Our mission

The Japanese government (and other sites) offers a wealth of open data about Japan, its economy and people. However, this data is often difficult to use: Descriptions and column names are available only in Japanese, data comes in human-readable Excel reports (or worse: PDFs) and is not ready to be machine-read.

We want to make this information more accessible and share this wealth of information with the rest of the world.

Datasets

Each dataset is hosted in its own repository on GitHub and includes a sample analysis in the form of a jupyter notebook.

See below for list of all available datasets:

Title	Description	Repository	Sample Analysis
