National Land Numeric Data

First, set the destination folder. This will be loaded from the QGIS configuration file next time.

Select National Geo-information and then select a prefecture. Multiple selections can also be made.

Press the buttons "Download" and "Add to Map". Note that if the file cannot be found, you will be asked to select a file.

Some maps do not have data for all prefectures. If this is the case, an error is generated. Error handling not yet available.

The corresponding 'QGIS Layer Style File' (QML) is in the plugins folder, but has not yet been created for all layers.

Census

The Census is a survey conducted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, with GIS data provided every five years since 2000. There are subregions (in units of cities, towns and villages, and wards for designated cities) and mesh units, and the plug-in supports subregions. Various geodetic systems are supported, but the plug-in uses the plane rectangular coordinate system, JGD2000 until 2010, and JGD2011 since 2015. JGD2011.

Choose a prefecture; then choose municipalities. Click "Download" to download the zip files. Click "Add to Map" to unzip the zip files and add shp files to QGIS map.
