No cities that have been granted this status have later lost this status. Designated Cities are delegated many of the functions normally performed by prefectural cities, making them almost on par with the Prefectures themselves. Tokyo is notably absent from the list, as it is legally not a single city; instead, Tokyo is Japan's sole designated Metropolis (都 ''to'') and has full prefectural powers. LIST OF DESIGNATED CITIES
