It sounds nice! Basically good idea. But, I recommend you should start
from the lasdec list first instead of postoffice list, because many
cases a village may have several postofficeses, it's not one village per
one postoffice in Japan. Some village may have no postoffice, Some
village may have 4 or 5 postofficeses due to historical reason. The
lasdec list is a complete list of towns in Japan so it is better to use
at today's mapping level in Japan.
I don't think lasdec is better. Since a month ago, we have discussed
and confirmed that MLIT Japan's data needs the source tag and the
copyright of the data is still held by MLIT Japan. (Of course, it is
licensed to be copied and modified freely though.) I feel that some
Japanese people hate the data. I welcome public domain sources from
nga.mil.
But I worry that the lasdec list have kanji presentation only. However,
the gns list from nga.mil have english presentation only.
They look Romanized Japanese. We can write it as name:ja_rm=*.
Some of them are written in Kanji.
I mean it's probably a lot of hand work necessary. I hope many guys here
helps.
a few month ago, we translated all country names on earth by using
http://toolserver.org/~mazder/multilingual-country-list/?lang=ja
I thought that this kind of task table is very useful. How about
making this kind of task list?
Probably you're looking line data of border of each ken. list of many
points makes a line as you know.
I am looking for both points, and line data too. My company needs this data,
and we thought it was only fair to share the results of our work with the
community. I would actually be interested in 区, 町, 村, 郡 and 市 limits in
order to form real polygons.
I am a geo-METRY type of person, so I just think we can draw border
lines between points as bisections. Of course, those are very rough
borders. I can make such data if you need.
