Japan: The 150th Anniversary of Japan Meteorological Agency

In 2025, Japan celebrates the 150th anniversary of its national weather service, founded in 1875. As one of the oldest meteorological institutions in the world, it has played a vital role in disaster preparedness, climate research, and public safety.

To mark the occasion, Japan Post has issued a commemorative stamp honoring the legacy and ongoing importance of weather forecasting in a country shaped by typhoons, earthquakes, and seasonal shifts.


Stamps:

The 150th Anniversary of Japan Meteorological Agency (from a set of 10) - Issued: 28-05-2025


Many thanks Mitsuhiko!
