Country of Location
Japan has three levels of government: national, prefectural, and municipal. The national government is the highest level and makes decisions for the entire country.
Below the national government, there are 47 prefectures. Each prefecture has its own government and is responsible for managing its own affairs. Six of these prefectures are further divided into smaller regions called subprefectures.
At the lowest level of government, there are 1,718 municipalities. These are cities, towns, and villages that are responsible for providing services like garbage collection, road maintenance, and public transportation to their residents. There are 792 cities, 743 towns, and 183 villages in Japan.
