First, an important note for everyone to remember:

A few Wikipedians have gotten together to make some suggestions about how we might organize data in articles about Japanese prefectures. These are only suggestions, things to give you focus and to get you going, and you shouldn't feel obligated in the least to follow them. But if you don't know what to write or where to begin, following the below guidelines may be helpful. Mainly, we just want you to write articles!

[edit] Structure

Most Japanese prefectures are named after their capital and to avoid disambiguation the article should start with the prefecture's name followed by the word prefecture. e.g. Hiroshima prefecture.

As a rule for using Kanji, Hiragana and/or Katakana ensure that users without Japanese reading skills will be able to pronounce these words if e.g. Tokyo prefecture (東京都; Tōkyō-to).

For more guidance see the Template below (for the time being).

[edit] Hierarchy Definition

No classification of Japanese prefectures has been defined. If you have any suggestions feel free to add start the definition. As a reference here is a good example on dividing a topic into a hierarchy.
