Let’s start by exploring some of the basic political concepts and institutions in Japan. Here are some essential terms to familiarize yourself with:


=== Government Structure ===
{| class="wikitable"


The government structure in Japan is based on a parliamentary system with a constitutional monarchy. The Emperor, currently Emperor Naruhito, serves as the ceremonial figurehead, while the Prime Minister is the head of government. The Prime Minister is elected by the National Diet, which is the bicameral legislature of Japan consisting of the House of Representatives and the House of Councillors.
! Japanese !! Pronunciation !! English


The House of Representatives, also known as Shugiin, is the lower house of the National Diet. Its members are elected by the public through general elections held every four years. The House of Representatives has the primary responsibility for passing laws and approving the budget.
|-


The House of Councillors, also known as Sangiin, is the upper house of the National Diet. Its members are elected through a combination of direct and proportional representation, with half of the seats up for election every three years. The House of Councillors reviews and revises bills passed by the House of Representatives.

Political parties play a crucial role in the Japanese political system. There are several major political parties in Japan, each representing different ideological positions and policy priorities. Some of the prominent political parties include:

The voting system in Japan is based on a single non-transferable vote system, where voters cast a single vote for their preferred candidate in a single-member district. The candidate with the highest number of votes wins the election.

This period of political transformation laid the foundation for many of the political institutions and practices seen in Japan today.
