Japan does not have states in the same way that the United States does; they are called "prefectures", or "Todōfuken" in Japanese

Tokyo is one of the 47 prefectures in Japan. The metropolitan part of Tokyo that many foreign people are familiar with is only about a quarter of the prefecture; there are 23 wards, or districts.

Outside the districts, there are other cities and towns which are not part of the metropolitan part of the prefecture, and even countryside and mountains.
