		The prefectures of Japan are the country's 47 sub-national jurisdictions: one "metropolis" (都; To), Tokyo; one "circuit" (道; Dō), Hokkaidō; two urban prefectures (府; Fu), Osaka and Kyoto; and 43 other prefectures (県; Ken).
		The largest and prefectural capital is Sapporo, the sixth largest city in Japan.

	Prefectures of Japan

		Today, since the special wards have almost the same degree of independence as Japanese cities, the difference in administration between Tokyo and other prefectures is fairly minor (see 23 special wards for details).

		The Japanese government is also considering a plan by which several groups of prefectures would merge, creating a sub-national administrative division system consisting of between nine and thirteen states, and giving these states more local autonomy than the current prefectures enjoy.
		"HokkaidÅ Prefecture" is, technically speaking, a redundant term, although it is occasionally used to differentiate the government from the island itself.
		Karafuto, a portion of the island of Sakhalin north of HokkaidÅ (not shown on the map), was part of Japan from 1907 until World War II.

		Smoking is common in Japan, and it's not rare for restaurants to not even offer non-smoking sections, but two restaurants we frequent recently converted part of their space, almost definitely (according to my Japanese wife) because of polite comments I, being a foreigner, had made to the staff about cigarette smoke.
		Japanese people usually seem to hold the concept of gaman (patience, tolerance) to be a good one, stoically enduring a bad situation rather than trying to change it.

	Japanese Government Information: New Rules for Access
		The original American FOIA was itself a relatively weak statute, but the persistence of disclosure activists and the shock of Watergate-era events led to dramatic revisions to the statute and strengthening of the public right of access.

		Most Japanese agencies have not set aside any particular part of their budgets to fund information disclosure, and there are no estimates of the costs that the new system will incur.
