But, this concept of area is not the area of public administration. In Japanese administrative sutructure, there is no intermediate government between national (central) government and prefectural governments. In Japan, there are 47 prefectural (local) governments

(including Tokyo metropolitan government). Because prefectures are generally too small, discussions continue for creating larger regional governments. Hokuriku may or may not be such region.Hokuriku Economic Federation （Hokuriku KeizaiRengoukai･･･Hokkeiren） is founded by enterprises of 3 prefectures of Toyama, Ishikawa and Fukui.

In some limited cases, Niigata Prefecture is included in Hokuriku area.

Historically speaking, the reign of Maeda during Edo era (265years) left strong cultural influence over the descendants of the area. Maeda, based at Kanazawa

(Kaga-han･･･country name during Edo era),

was the largest Daimyo (feudal lord) in Japan other than ruling Tokugawa family and ruled the vast area including present Ishikawa Prefecture and major part of Toyama Prefecture (including Toyama and Takaoka).

But, even in this industrial sector, the role of local industries was complementary vis-a-vis large scale textile yarn manufacturers of national/international scale, because local industries were relatively small in its scale. Even now, majority of local industries of Hokuriku is middle and small scale enterprises, though large companies such as Komatsu(head-office registered in Tokyo) of construction machineries, YKK of zippers (fasteners), Fujikoshi of NACHI brand bearings, are examples of exception.

Furthermore, Hokuriku’s soil of light industries also helped developments of plastic molders and electronic component manufacturers. Semiconductor manufacturing industries are also flourishing in Hokuriku which needs abundant pure water.
