local autonomy law

The Local Autonomy Law (地方自治法 Chihō-jiji-hō) of Japan was passed as Law No. 67 on April 17, 1947. It established most of Japan's contemporary local government structures, including:

The four types of prefecture (to - do - fu - ken)
Cities, towns, villages, and rural districts
Cities designated by government ordinance
The 23 special wards of Tokyo

The text of the law is lengthy (more than 200 pages in print) and is subject to amendment several times a year.
