This is a list of Prefecture songs of Japan. Forty-four of the forty-seven prefectures of Japan have one or more official prefecture songs.
The only prefectures that do not have a prefecture song are Osaka, Hiroshima and Ōita. However, all except Ōita have unofficial prefectural songs. It is sometimes believed that Hyōgo does not have an official prefecture song, but the song "Hyōgo Kenminka" was adopted in 1947.[1]
