You can create spatial data based on such data as address books and customer databases. (This service is available only in Japanese.)
Urban Employment Areas (UEAs) are proposed as a new metropolitan area definition that can be used by policy makers and researchers in a variety of fields. This site contains the code tables and a database for UEAs.
This service provides spatial datasets of palaeohydrology, palaeoenvironment, alluvial fans and outcrops in Japan as WebGIS and WMS.
This is a reproduction of some datasets from the past services below (Databse Using Internet GIS and Global Palaeohydrology Databse).
