Japan has many place names with unusual readings (難読地名, nandoku chimei) where the kanji are not read in the standard way. In many cases, even the Japanese need assistance in knowing the correct pronunciation unless they grew up in the area, especially when the kanji being used are not part of the 2,136 approved kanji on the Jōyō kanji list.
