Hospitals

There is a list for Japan at Wikidata:WikiProject Medicine/Hospitals by country/Japan. Compared to other countries, it's actually fairly extensive. I tried to expand it with data from infoboxes. Knowing Japanese, one could probably add even more. --- Jura 08:53, 26 May 2019 (UTC)

At Wikidata:WikiProject_Japan/Tasks#Geography, I added a query mapping the stations. --- Jura 13:25, 15 November 2019 (UTC)

Feedback on descriptions in Japanese

こんにちわ！I have recently started learning Japanese and I think I'm currently almost at JLPT N5 level. I would like to contribute to Wikidata in Japanese as well, and I was thinking that item descriptions may be a good start - they seem pretty straightforward. I have gotten started adding the following description to public artworks from my home town Rotterdam: ロッテルダム、オランダの公共のアートワーク (example Hillegonda (Q102080619)). I would like to ask for some feedback from Japanese speakers: can this be improved, and if so, how? ありがとうございます　- Spinster 💬 17:09, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

Here's a pitch for project. Lets find out where and when all the matsuris are happening. I made a list of properties that I would expect from a <instance of> matsuri (Q1046763) item:

instance of	P31	Item	instance of: matsuri (Q1046763)	Tado Festival <instance of> matsuri	-
