Wikipedia definition
1. Hiragana and katakana place namesThe hiragana cities of Japan are cities whose names are written in hiragana rather than kanji. Traditionally, all Japanese place names were written using kanji. However, some recently founded cities such as Tsukuba in Ibaraki Prefecture have names which have kanji, but are usually written in hiragana only. Many of the cities whose names are written in hiragana have equivalent kanji names that are either phonetic manyōgana, or whose kanji are now obsolete.
