Japan's Prefectures & Islands
Arranged roughly North-east to South-west. You will find a useful and simple JNTO map here.
Japan has 43 prefectures (ken), Tokyo (Tokyo-to), Osaka (Osaka-fu), Kyoto (Kyoto-fu), Hokkaido (do).
Don't confuse Cities (shi) with "ken" or Wards (ku)
For convenience but lacking accuracy, the endings (to-do-fu-ken) are often omitted in addresses.
