Tips
- If you're not sure of the exact name, try typing the prefecture name or part of the reading instead.
- Because the same municipality name can exist in multiple prefectures, always check the prefecture shown alongside the result.
- The first two digits of the code identify the prefecture, so the list page groups municipalities by prefecture.
- Wards of designated cities (such as Chuo-ku in Sapporo) are not independent local governments, so they are listed together under their parent city.
- Population and household figures are added municipality by municipality as they become available, and show as "Not yet available" until then.
Frequently asked questions
Side Note — The story behind the National Local Government Code
Japan's six-digit "National Local Government Code", which uniquely identifies every municipality, was established in 1968 by the Ministry of Home Affairs (now the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications) to make information processing more efficient. The first two digits represent the prefecture, the next three represent the municipality, and the final digit is a check digit used to catch data-entry errors.
Thanks to that check digit, mistyping even a single digit usually produces an inconsistency that can be caught immediately. Even though the scheme was designed more than half a century ago, it is still used throughout Japanese administrative systems today, including the Basic Resident Register Network.
When municipalities merge, a new code is issued and the old one is retired rather than reused. Looking through the full list of codes, you can still spot traces of the many renumberings that happened during the wave of municipal mergers in the early 2000s.
