Hello,

what you will find in PostGIS will fix the issue that you are having in
your import of the database, but not in the raw data. It would actually
consider rude not to fix it actually :)
The problem was not obvious. As you have seen yourself, one of the
relation tool didn't pick the issue. I don't think anyone is running a
verification of all relations in general.
You are more than welcome to try, and do not hesitate to ask for help if
you don't see what the problem is. I am sure that plenty of people will
be offering support if you need it.
It is not uncommon for me to fix errors in places like Japan. There are
errors that can be fixed just by looking at the geometry. It is the
beauty of collaborative work, everyone can fix it.
