Distrik (Jepang)

Distrik (郡code: ja is deprecated , gun) saat ini merupakan unit geografis dan statistik yang terdiri dari satu atau beberapa desa di Jepang. Distrik berfungsi sebagai unit administrasi di Jepang pada tahun 1878^[1] hingga 1921.^[2] Tidak ada satuan administratif di Indonesia yang sepadan dengan distrik di Jepang, tetapi secara umum hampir sama dengan county di Amerika Serikat.

Distrik berstatus di bawah prefektur dan di atas kota kecil dan desa serta setara dengan kota.^[3]
