There are 47 prefectures in Japan but what some people aren't aware of is the fact that there are 4 names for the "prefecture".
都 （と） = Tokyo
道 （どう） = Hokkaido
府 （ふ） = Osaka and Kyoto
県 （けん） = Remaining 43

There are only 18 cities in which they can have wards （区 = ku）. In other words, the vast majority of Japanese cities don't have wards in them.
