I think it is not needed to put any place tags if you just want to tag administrative divisions. You simply add boundary=administrative, admin_level=*, name=* wikipedia, population etc. to the elements. There is a table for the corresponding legal entities here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:boundary%3Dadministrative#10_admin_level_values_for_specific_countries If it is not sufficiently representing your reality, discuss it on the local ML and update the suggested values for Japan. cheers, Martin
