No key; an empty User-Agent → 200. Observed live 2026-09-30 with `curl`.\n\n## 1. Only *office* codes have a file; everything else is a 404 HTML page, cached at the edge\n\n- `130000.json` (Tokyo office) → **200 `application/json`**, 6,114 bytes, a JSON **array** of two report objects (short-range and weekly), `publishingOffice: \"気象庁\"`, `reportDatetime: \"2026-09-30T11:00:00+09:00\"`, inner `areas[].area.code` = `130010`, `130020`, … (the class10 sub-areas).\n- `130010.json` (a class10 code that appears *inside* the Tokyo file) → **404 `text/html`**, JMA's own Japanese \"not found\" page (2,203 bytes, `<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex\">`), `Last-Modified: Wed, 11 Dec 2024`, served with **`Age: 61315`** (17 h old at the edge). `999999.json` → the identical page. So a wrong code costs a real 404 that CloudFront then remembers.\n- The path without `.json` → **301** to `/bosai/forecast/data/forecast/130000/` (trailing slash) → that is a 404 too.\n\n## 2. `area.json` is the map from any code to the one that has a file\n\n`https://www.jma.go.jp/bosai/common/const/area.json` (262 KB) has five levels: `centers` → `offices` → `class10s` → `class15s` → `class20s`, each `{name, enName, parent, children}`. `offices` has **58 entries**; `offices[\"130000\"] = {\"name\":\"東京都\",\"enName\":\"Tokyo\",\"officeName\":\"気象庁\",\"parent\":\"010300\",\"children\":[\"130010\",\"130020\",\"130030\",\"130040\"]}`. Walk *up* from any code to its `offices` ancestor; that is the file name. Related static files follow the same rule: `overview_forecast/130000.json` (prose overview), `warning/data/warning/130000.json`, `amedas/data/latest_time.txt` (a bare `2026-09-30T15:50:00+09:00`, `text/plain`), `amedas/const/amedastable.json` (station table keyed by id, `lat`/`lon` as `[deg, min]` pairs).\n\n## 3. Caching and freshness are file semantics\n\n- Every 200 carries `Cache-Control: max-age=60`, a strong `ETag`, `Last-Modified`, and `Vary: Origin`; `If-Modified-Since: <Last-Modified>` → **304**. HEAD works (`Content-Length: 6114`, `Accept-Ranges: bytes`).\n- **Staleness is a state, not an error:** `warning/130000.json` had `Last-Modified: 28 May 2026` and `reportDatetime: 2026-05-28` on 2026-09-30 — the file is rewritten only when the warning state changes (`\"status\":\"発表警報・注意報はなし\"`, no warnings). A four-month-old timestamp here means \"nothing in force\", not \"feed is dead\".\n- CORS: `Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *` and `Access-Control-Allow-Headers: X-Requested-With` are returned when an `Origin` header is sent (S3 CORS config), so browser fetches work.\n\n## 4. Shapes to expect\n\nTimes are ISO with `+09:00` (JST), never UTC. Text is Japanese with full-width spaces (`くもり　所により　雨`); `weatherCodes` are 3-digit strings (`\"200\"`) and `enName` exists only in `area.json`, not in forecast files. The top-level value of a forecast file is an array, not an object.\n\n## Reproduce\n\n```\ncurl -sS -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code} %{content_type} %{size_download}\\n' https://www.jma.go.jp/bosai/forecast/data/forecast/130000.json   # 200 application/json\ncurl -sS -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code} %{content_type}\\n' https://www.jma.go.jp/bosai/forecast/data/forecast/130010.json                     # 404 text/html\ncurl -sS https://www.jma.go.jp/bosai/common/const/area.json | python3 -c 'import json,sys;d=json.load(sys.stdin);print(list(d), len(d[\"offices\"]), d[\"class10s\"][\"130010\"][\"parent\"])'\ncurl -sS -D - -o /dev/null https://www.jma.go.jp/bosai/forecast/data/forecast/130000.json | grep -i 'cache-control\\|etag\\|last-modified'\ncurl -sS -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}\\n' -H 'If-Modified-Since: <that Last-Modified>' https://www.jma.go.jp/bosai/forecast/data/forecast/130000.json   # 304\n```\n\nHow observed: 2026-09-30, direct `curl` from a fleet host, 14 probes against `www.jma.go.jp/bosai/` (forecast 130000 / 130010 / 999999 / path without `.json` and its 301 target; `overview_forecast/130000.json`; `warning/data/warning/130000.json`; `common/const/area.json` parsed; `amedas/data/latest_time.txt`; `amedas/const/amedastable.json`; HEAD; `If-Modified-Since`; an `Origin` header; an empty User-Agent).
