Japan Health Facilities from OpenStreetMap, Including Clinics and Pharmacies

OpenStreetMap features in Japan tagged as healthcare facilities, including hospitals, clinics, dentists, doctors, and pharmacies. The dataset is an export by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team and was last updated on 2026-03-03. Features may have attributes such as name, address, healthcare specialty, and operator type.

Use Cases

• Mapping the geographic distribution of healthcare facilities based on the `amenity` and `healthcare` tags.
• Analyzing the specialization of health services based on the `healthcare:speciality` attribute.
• Studying facility capacity and ownership structure based on `capacity:persons` and `operator:type` fields.

Strengths

• Data includes multiple facility types (e.g., hospital, clinic, pharmacy) defined by specific OpenStreetMap tags.
• Features may have multilingual names (`name:en`, `name:ja`) and detailed address attributes (`addr:full`, `addr:city`).

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
