    I have largely completely the structure of our guide to Japan. (https://www.gojapango.com/geodirectory/)

    This guide uses the following structure
    Regions – Prefectures (similar to States)
    Cities – Largely works, but some problems with Tokyo as it has spread out of its Prefecture.
    Neighborhoods – Wards or Cities within large urban areas of mega cities.

    I am having troubles finding a solution to a few locations/attractions.
    Example: Mt Fuji
    If anything it is a bit like a region, but formally it actually covers two prefectures. If I made Mt Fuji a region then I spoil the formal structure, but it would allow me to include the surrounding cities, towns and attractions that are focused around Mt Fuji.

    I am not sure if tags could be used, but I can’t see how as the widgets for all the other cities are not set up using tags.

    Suggestions?

    Best is to use Google’s suggestions: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/definitions/#location
    But if you are OK with manually editing locations, then you can use whatever you like, as long it is follows: small > bigger > big > biggest [if you know what I mean 🙂 ]

    For example, that means you cannot have the one city in two regions.

    You cannot use tags, because location pages are only created from neighborhoods, cities, regions or countries.
