The list follows the official area-to-municipality mapping. Municipality and facility counts are presented at their published geographic units; no resident-utilization estimate is inferred.

Sources and reference periods

Source titles and official records may be in Japanese. Dates and geographic units are shown separately for each source.

  • Municipality membership follows the official table as of 1 October 2024 and is matched using five-digit municipality codes.
  • Facility, resident-population, bed-function, outpatient-function, DPC and physician figures are descriptive aggregations. Each retains its own reference period and reporting scope.
  • These figures do not indicate healthcare quality, need, adequacy, shortage, access, recommendation or rank.
  • Facility-level datasets are not joined unless the source and product contract support that join.
