The National Diet of Japan is the country's bicameral legislature, consisting of two houses: the House of Representatives and the House of Councillors. It is responsible for making laws, approving the budget, and overseeing the government. Members of the Diet are elected by the public, with the House of Representatives having a shorter term than the House of Councillors. The Diet meets in the Diet Building located in Tokyo. It plays a crucial role in Japan's democratic system, ensuring that the government is accountable to the people. The Prime Minister, who is the head of government, is typically chosen from the members of the Diet.
