`jma_resolve_area`

Pack: jma · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/jma/mcp

Resolve a Japanese place name (English romaji or Japanese, e.g. “Tokyo”, “Sapporo”, “大阪”) or a JMA area code to the JMA forecast OFFICE code used by jma_forecast and jma_warnings. Sourced from the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) area master list (www.jma.go.jp/bosai/common/const/area.json), which covers all 58 forecast offices plus every prefecture, region, city, ward and town JMA itself names in English. Use this when you need the raw office code, or just pass the place name straight into jma_forecast / jma_warnings — they resolve internally.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`query`	string	yes	Place name (English or Japanese) or JMA area code, e.g. “Tokyo”, “Naha”, “130000”.
