1. Chikuma DistrictChikuma District was a district located in Shinano Province. The district was centered at the current city of Matsumoto, then capital of Shinano, but on January 14, 1879, the district split off into Higashichikuma and Nishichikuma Districts. Until Meiji Era, the district was known as "Tsukama" but they repronounced to "Chikuma" because "Tsukama" was very hard to pronounce. But people in Matsumoto still pronounces as "Tsukama" as in Tsukama Elementary School (筑摩小学校-つかましょうがっこう).
