Regional metropolis

Japanese: 広域中心都市 - こういきちゅうしんとし(英語表記)regional metropolis
Regional metropolis
The size of the metropolitan area (area) that a city serves varies depending on the level of its functions. The city with the largest metropolitan area is called the national center (such as the capital), while the regional center with the next largest metropolitan area is called a regional central city in Japan's administrative sense. Examples of regional central cities include Sapporo, Sendai, Hiroshima, Kanazawa, and Fukuoka. They have populations of 500,000 to 1 million, have central administrative functions as regional centers, and are planned to have a wide range of social and cultural facilities.
