Wikipedia requested photographs in Japan is a top category having subcategories, each of which offers a way for an editor to ask others to provide location specific photographs for an article. If the photo request is for a known specific location in Japan, please add |pref-photo=(name of prefecture) to the {{WikiProject Japan}} banner. For example, to request a photo in Ōita Prefecture, you would add |pref-photo=Ōita to the {{WikiProject Japan}} banner. Please see the template documentation for additional details, especially if the location is in multiple prefectures.

You may also add {{reqphoto|in=specific prefecture name}}, substituting the subcategory county name in place of "specific prefecture name". For geographic map location of each prefecture in Japan relative to the other prefectures, see the image to the right or visit the List of prefectures in Japan.
