Kawanehon name?[edit]

Could someone please verify that this place is called "Kawanehon"? I was under the strongest impression that "本町" was one word, and I can't find any place that calls it "Kawanehon" except for places that are obviously quoting from Wikipedia. Acidtoyman (talk) 12:38, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I support Acidtoyman, and the article title should be corrected to "Kawane-honchō", or maybe "Kawane (town)" instead, as there is Kawane,_Shizuoka in the same prefecture. Many cities/towns in Japan, including this example, are called 本町 (and elsewhere 本町). In this sense, it does not make sense to abbreviate honchō to hon.

The official website for the town writes they are Kawanehoncho: http://www.town.kawanehon.shizuoka.jp/en/default.asp
It is Kawanehoncho on a tourists guide map "A Guide to the Oigawa Basin" edited by the local tourist association supervised by the Planning and Tourism Division, Kawanehoncho General Branch Office: http://www.okuooi.gr.jp/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/9be0a1bda8f5f0be916aec447a92e5a7.pdf
Japan National Tourism Organization says "...Kawane-Honcho is a town in Haibara County, ..." http://www.jnto.go.jp/eng/location/spot/histtown/senzu.html
Wonder why an online lexicon sources that Wikipedia Corpus records the town name as "Kawane-honcho": http://ejje.weblio.jp/content/川根本町 (site in Japanese). 静岡県千頭（現在の川根本町）の出身。 Reference Wikipedia 日英京都関連文書対訳コーパス. --Omotecho (talk) 19:52, 21 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
