The system began operating on 1 November 1974, and currently comprises 1,300 stations throughout Japan (of which over 1,100 are unstaffed), with an average separation of 17 km (11 mi). Observations at staffed stations cover weather, wind direction and speed , types and amounts of precipitation , types and base heights of clouds, visibility ...
A Synoptic automatic weather station. Synoptic weather stations are instruments which collect meteorological information at synoptic time 00h00, 06h00, 12h00, 18h00 and at intermediate synoptic hours 03h00, 09h00, 15h00, 21h00 (UTC). Every weather station has assigned station unique code by WMO for identification.
Meteorological organizations in Japan have their origins in the 1870s, when the first weather stations started being established in the country. [1] One of these was the Tokyo Meteorological Observatory ( 東京気象台 , Tōkyō Kishō-dai ) , which since 1956 has been known as the Japan Meteorological Agency ( 気象庁 , Kishō-chō ) .
IIiii: weather station identification code; II for a block number allocated (by the WMO) to a country or a region of the world, for example 02 for Scandinavia or 72 and 74 for the continental US; iii is the code of an individual station within a block. (For example, 02993 is the code of the weather station on Märket, 74794 of Cape Canaveral). [4]

This is a 6-digit numeric code that is essentially the same scheme as the WMO station identifier but adds an extra digit, allowing many more stations to be indexed. This extra digit is always "0" when referencing an actual WMO station using the five-digit identifier, but may be 1..9 to reference other stations that exist in the vicinity.
