What are the types of local government in Japan ?
(a) Prefectures (b) Municipalities
(c) Commune (d) County
Answer the question using the codes given below :
Answer: B
Local government in Japan consists of prefectures and municipalities.
Japan has a two-tier system of local public entities under the Local Autonomy Law. The upper tier is the 47 prefectures (to, do, fu and ken, such as Tokyo, Hokkaido, Osaka and Kyoto). The lower tier is the municipalities: cities, towns and villages, with designated cities and core cities as larger categories of city.
Communes are the basic local units of France and Italy, and counties are found in the United States and the United Kingdom. Neither is a type of local government in Japan, so the codes that include them are wrong.
