The Local Autonomy Law (地方自治法 Chihō-jichi-hō) of Japan was passed as Law No. 67 on April 17, 1947, an Act of Devolution that 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
- City designated by government ordinance (Japan)
- 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.
