180,000 Religious Bodies Nationwide Integrated Database

This unified database cross-references and standardizes information on approximately 180,000 religious juridical persons across Japan with corporate numbers, and is updated daily. It serves as a reliable foundation for research and analysis, and also supports downloads in CSV and TSV formats.

Because the Agency for Cultural Affairs supervises some comprehensive religious juridical persons, while prefectural governments oversee the majority of religious juridical persons, no official nationwide database exists. Our site integrates corporate numbers with registry lists, centralizing information that had previously been dispersed.

Due to variant characters in names and differences in address notation, the same juridical person has sometimes been treated as separate entities. By applying normalization processes and assigning corporate numbers, our site prevents duplication and misidentification, enabling accurate search and analysis.

Around 180,000 religious juridical persons exist nationwide. This site records them, updates the data daily, and provides CSV/TSV downloads, making it a ready-to-use foundation for research and analysis.
