Worth noticing
It covers 220,599 census small areas across all 47 prefectures, but only 5 of 12 hazard categories are currently published.

Field notes

The site says it derives neighborhood areas from e-Stat’s small-area boundary data for the 2020 census and processes public hazard data from national agencies and municipalities. Its stated policy is to label uninvestigated hazards as “not investigated” rather than leave them blank, and it disclaims use as a replacement for official maps or evacuation guidance.
