[Added on 2024/04/06].

The system has been restored and is now operating normally.
Accordingly, we have resumed accepting applications for permission to use this dataset.
We apologize for any inconvenience and trouble this may have caused over the long term.

We are experiencing technical difficulties with the “Himawari Data Download and Processing System.”

While we are working on resolving the issue, we are afraid to inform you that there is currently no estimated time for recovery.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this may cause to the users of the Himawari data, and we kindly ask for your patience until the system is restored.
In the meantime, please refrain from submitting new applications for permission to use the Himawari data until the system is fully operational.
For the most recent images, you can refer to the following applications (no prior application for use is required):

• Latest Himawari Images
• Himawari Map

We will continue to update this page with the latest information regarding the situation.
dThank you for your understanding.
