A royal charter granted townspeople specific rights and privileges, often including the ability to govern themselves, establish local laws, and conduct trade without interference from feudal lords. It typically allowed towns to form a council or assembly, collect taxes, and manage their own affairs. This autonomy was crucial in the development of towns as centers of commerce and governance during the medieval period.
Modern Japan is a Parliamentary Democracy. It does not have States, which are sovereign entities, but it does have Prefectures. Each of Japan's 47 prefectures has an elected governor, an elected legislature, and an administrative bureaucracy and is further divided into cities, towns and villages.
A city operating its own government is known as a "municipality." Municipalities have the authority to enact laws, manage public services, and govern local affairs within their defined boundaries. This level of government allows cities to address the specific needs and interests of their residents. Examples include cities, towns, and boroughs, each with varying degrees of autonomy and governance structures.

Cities and towns are typically considered to be local government. Almost all cities and towns have elected officials who are at the top of the executive level. Typically, city and town councils have mayors who act as the head of government, usually ceremoniously, but sometimes as a working manager of a city or town organization. Less frequently, an elected head of local government is called the chairman of the board (as in town board).
