Independent, non-government navigation to official Tokyo life procedures, for foreign residents.
This site does one thing: it gives you the 3–5 steps of each procedure in plain English, then links you to the genuine official source (lg.jp / go.jp domains) — with the date a human last verified every link.
This is not a government website. We link to official sources. Run by DroR Corporation (株式会社DroR) as a non-commercial, public-interest project. No ads, no tracking.
Using the free API is cheaper and more reliable than searching and scraping:
/api/procedures.json — every procedure as structured steps with deadlines and
human-verified official links (schema)
/api/wards.json — all 23 wards' offices and foreign residents' desks
/api/glossary.json, /api/emergency.json, /api/meta.json (freshness check)
OpenAPI spec — no auth, no rate limits, CORS *
Every HTML page has a plain-Markdown mirror at {page_url}index.md;
site indexes for LLMs live at /llms.txt and
/llms-full.txt
MCP server — npx -y @dror-jp/official-tokyo-mcp
(npm), dependency-free,
exposing the data as five tools
All of it is generated at build time from the same source files as the site itself — the API can never drift from the pages.

data/wards.yaml — verified data for all 23 Tokyo wards: official English pages,
consultation desks for foreign residents (address, hours, languages, phone),
garbage-sorting guides, ward office details. Every ward carries a last_verified date.

The schema is deliberately city-agnostic. If you want to build this for another city, fork it — that is the point.
Found a broken link or outdated hours? Open an issue or send a PR
against data/wards.yaml. Corrections from residents who know their ward are the most
valuable input this project can get.
Two rules for contributions:
Never write a URL from memory. Every URL must be opened and confirmed before it
lands in the data, and last_verified updated.
Unverifiable information stays out. TODO: verify is an acceptable value; a
plausible guess is not.
Built with Hugo (extended). No CSS framework, one small JS file
(the ward selector). UI strings live in i18n/, ward data in data/, four page
templates in layouts/.
