longer than 100 $\micron$ and has a higher spatial resolution (1$\arcmin$–1.5$\arcmin$) than IRAS. It is important to obtain a precise estimate of the ZE contribution to the far-IR sky and provide a ZE template and ZE-subtracted far-IR maps based on the AKARI data. This paper is part of a series in which we present AKARI far-IR diffuse emission map data. @Doi15 provide detailed descriptions of both the AKARI far-IR all-sky survey and the data-processing scheme applied to the all-sky maps. @Takita15 report on the calibration process and quality of the AKARI far-IR all-sky maps. In this paper, we evaluate the residual ZE contribution, in particular of the zodiacal dust bands, in the publicly released AKARI far-IR maps and discuss the AKARI ZE-distribution template maps. We extract the structure of the zodiacal dust bands from the AKARI far-IR maps and briefly discuss their observed properties. The main goal of this study is to provide ZE template maps and ZE-subtracted far-IR maps based on the AKARI far-IR all-sky survey data[^1]. Detailed analysis of the dynamics of the dust bands, much smaller-scale structures (such as cometary dust trails) and the construction of a three-dimensional ZE model (such as the Kelsall model) are beyond
