List of cities in Japan

Template:TopicTOC-Country-Japan This is a list of cities in Japan sorted by prefecture and within prefecture by founding date. The list is also sortable by population, area, density and foundation date. Most large cities in Japan are cities designated by government ordinance. Some regionally important cities are designated as core cities. Tokyo is not included on this list, as the City of Tokyo ceased to exist on July 1, 1943. Tokyo now exists as a Template:Nihongo, with 23 special wards (with the same status of city) making up the former boundaries of the former city in the eastern half of the prefecture.
