JP GSI schema

The vector tile schema describes how the vector data is organized into different thematic layers and which attribute and values each layer contains. This is useful for writing a map style.

JP GSI is a tileset that contains vector tiles provided by the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan.

Explore the tileset in the interactive map viewer, check the date of the last update, use it as vector tiles, etc.
