The prefecture name should be capitalized (e.g., <a href="/wiki/Hiroshima,_Hiroshima" class="mw-redirect" title="Hiroshima, Hiroshima">Hiroshima, Hiroshima</a> and <a href="/wiki/Sapporo,_Hokkaid%C5%8D" class="mw-redirect" title="Sapporo, Hokkaidō">Sapporo, Hokkaidō</a>). The only exceptions are listed on the Manual of Style page. </p><p>When more than one municipality within a prefecture share the same name, use the district name in parentheses to disambiguate names (e.g.,<a href="/wiki/Asahi,_Yamagata_(Nishimurayama)" title="Asahi, Yamagata (Nishimurayama)">Asahi, Yamagata (Nishimurayama)</a> and <a href="/wiki/Azuma,_Gunma_(Seta)" title="Azuma, Gunma (Seta)">Azuma, Gunma (Seta)</a>). If the name conficts with another municipality's name, use "city", "town", or "village" with all lowercase letters instead of the name of the district to which it belongs (e.g., <a href="/wiki/Echizen,_Fukui_(town)" title="Echizen, Fukui (town)">Echizen, Fukui (town)</a>). </p><p>Each district should be named <b>{District name} District, {Prefecture name}</b> (e.g., <a href="/wiki/Aki_District,_Hiroshima" title="Aki District, Hiroshima">Aki District, Hiroshima</a>). See <a href="/wiki/Districts_of_Japan#Confusing_cases_in_Hokkaido" title="Districts of Japan">Districts of Japan#Confusing cases in Hokkaido</a> for exceptional cases where two districts share the same English name within the same subprefecture. </p><p>For districts/areas within the <a href="/wiki/Special_wards_of_Tokyo" title="Special wards of Tokyo">special wards of Tokyo</a> and other towns/cities, articles should be titled <b>{District name}, {Special ward/town/city name}</b>.
