National Diet of Japan

The National Diet of Japan is Japan's primary legislative body, similar to a parliament or congress. It consists of two chambers: the House of Representatives and the House of Councillors. The Diet makes laws, approves the budget, and oversees the government. Members are elected by Japanese citizens, and the Diet plays a key role in shaping national policy and governance. It operates under a parliamentary system, with the Prime Minister appointed from the majority party or coalition in the House of Representatives. The Diet meets regularly in Tokyo to debate and decide on important national issues.
