Municipalities of Japan municipalities in Japan in four types

Japan has three levels of government: national, prefectural, and municipal. The nation is divided into 47 prefectures. Each prefecture consists of numerous municipalities, with 1,719 in total. There are four types of municipalities in Japan: cities, towns, villages and special wards. In Japanese, this system is known as shikuchōson (市区町村), where each kanji in the word represents one of the four types of municipalities. Some designated cities also have further administrative subdivisions, also known as wards. But, unlike the Special wards of Tokyo, these wards are not municipalities.

Akashi District was a district in Hyōgo Prefecture. It was formed in 1879 from the territory of the Edo period Akashi Domain. The district ceased to exist on 10 January 1951, when its last remaining municipalities merged into Akashi city. The area that the district once covered is now within Akashi city and western Kobe city.

History

The name Tarumi literally means "sagging water", i.e. a waterfall, and refers to the waterfalls that were along the northern side of the road that stretched from eastern Tarumi beyond Shioya. The name is attested to in the Engishiki published in the tenth century. [2]

The Engishiki is a Japanese book about laws and customs. The major part of the writing was completed in 927.

On 1 April 1899 a new municipal system came into force and Tarumi village (垂水村) [1] was formed from seven villages (Higashi-Tarumi, Yamada, Nishi-Tarumi, Tamon, Shioya, Shimohata and Myodani). In October 1928 the village became a town. [1] In July 1941 the town merged into neighbouring Kobe city, becoming part of the Suma ward. [1]
