This is a list of cities in Japan sorted by prefecture and within prefecture by founding date. The list is also sortable by population, area, density and foundation date. Most large cities in Japan are cities designated by government ordinance. Some regionally important cities are designated as core cities. While the City of Tokyo ceased to exist on July 1, 1943, being replaced by the 23 special wards that make up the eastern part of the special metropolis prefecture Tokyo, it has been included on this list concurrently with the special wards.
Reading Shimodate against the global hubs: Tokyo (~76 km), Singapore (~5,377 km), Sydney (~7,889 km) are the close ones, with São Paulo (~18,462 km) sitting on the opposite side of the planet — a good gut check when judging logistics windows.
