Municipalities
Cities And Towns And Villages
noun
What do a city, a town, and a village have in common? They're all municipalities.
市町村 is a formal, administrative term that refers collectively to cities and towns and villages. It's often used when municipalities are being referred to in a general sense — usually with a nuance of "whichever applies to you," as in 市町村のホームページ (your local municipality's website).
This is a jukugo word, which usually means on'yomi readings from the kanji. You should be alright with 市 and 町, but you didn't learn 村's on'yomi with the kanji. Here's a mnemonic to help you remember it:
You decide to tour all your prefecture's municipalities with your son (そん). It'll be a great learning experience for your son to visit all the cities and towns and villages in the area and see what each of them is like. Plus, it'll be a good parent-son bonding activity.
