Hi,
Does "prefecture" in the above equal "county" or "province" to you? Thanks.

Prefecture is the word accepted by English writers for Japanese ' ken / to / do / fu '. For Americans, it is closer to 'state' and for Canadians it is similar to 'province'; I imagine that Brits will equate it with 'county'. South Korea is divided into nine do (provinces).
