- Hokkaido residents researching local council decisions
- Worth noticing
- Its coverage distinguishes full minutes from council newsletters and meeting summaries; readers can also report errors in names, dates, or question records.
Field notes
The homepage separates its 20 listed municipalities by source coverage: full minutes for 14, council newsletter summaries for five, and a municipal general-question summary for one. It also surfaces meeting schedules and advance question notices alongside past exchanges. The operator says records are extracted by machine and asks councillors to flag mistakes so they can be checked and corrected.
