FUCHū

(Redirected from Fuchu)
'Fuchū' is the name of several places in Japan:

Fuchū City, Tokyo Prefecture

Fuchū City, Hiroshima Prefecture

Fuchū Town, Hiroshima Prefecture
Japan tries to avoid multiple cities with the same name in order to prevent administrative mistakes due to confusion. There are only two cases of cities in Japan with the same name: Fuchū in Hiroshima and Tokyo, and Date in Hokkaidō and Fukushima. Fuchū means capital of a province. According to the provisions of the 8th-century Ritsuryō system, there was a Fuchū in every administrative province. The place-name Fuchū remains in many areas of Japan.
