How it's used
Proper nouns for foreign cities are usually transliterated or kept as their original characters. When referring to Japanese cities, the kanji characters are identical to those used in Japanese, making them easy to recognize for learners familiar with Japanese script. It is standard to add 市 after the city name to clarify that it is a city rather than a prefecture or a region.
Examples
The food in Hiroshima City is very famous.
