Hi, I've changed the following descriptions on wiki page.
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Catalogue/Japan_KSJ2_Import/Administrative_district_2014 * Descriptions "place=district" to "place=county". (w/ other related JP pages, such as address) * Relation role "admin_centre" to "label" on relation member structure.
