What is .lg.jp TLD
.lg.jp is a structured second-level space within Japan’s .jp country-code domain, designated for local governments – prefectures, municipalities, and wards. In webatla, we classify .lg.jp domains as government-identifying labels used for administrative services, public information, and civic programs, while .lg.jp websites represent the active, content-serving endpoints residents actually visit. Our index currently records 25 active entries and 7 live sites across 2 countries where infrastructure or usage is observed. Recent activity is minimal, with 0 new registrations last week, indicating a stable, policy-driven namespace rather than commercial churn. These characteristics make .lg.jp a predictable segment for compliance and service mapping. Download the .lg.jp dataset from webatla to examine coverage.
History and key features of .lg.jp TLD
Introduced by Japan’s .JP registry to standardize local authority naming, the .lg.jp space enforces eligibility rules that limit registrations to governmental bodies and their delegated units. Consequently, .lg.jp domains tend to be long-lived, and .lg.jp websites often follow geographic naming patterns (for example, city or prefecture names) and publish official notices, statistics, and service portals. Operationally, we observe 7 domains with DNS configured, reflecting authoritative reachability, while creation patterns remain static: 0 new last week and 0 in December 2025. This stability reduces namespace volatility but increases reliance on accurate DNS and cybersecurity hygiene for public services.

Organizations choosing .lg.jp are chiefly municipal governments, prefectural offices, assemblies, and affiliated public agencies seeking clear governmental identity and user trust. For planners and auditors, .lg.jp domains signal jurisdiction and mandate, while .lg.jp websites provide service endpoints for taxes, disaster updates, health guidance, and procurement. Adoption is focused yet international in infrastructure terms, with activity visible across 2 countries. We track 25 active registrations, including 7 public-facing sites, a ratio consistent with operational networks where many hosts serve internal or specialized functions. Where procurement cycles are long, registration bursts are rare, aligning with 0 weekly change. Download webatla’s .lg.jp datasets to benchmark entities and map service reach.
