[[Han|Domains]] also employed the title "''bugyô''" for officials within their internal administrations. In [[Fukuoka han]], for example, ''machi bugyô'' (town magistrates) oversaw the twin cities of [[Hakata]] and [[Fukuoka]], ''kôri bugyô'' (郡奉行, district magistrates) oversaw farming villages and post towns, and ''ura bugyô'' (浦奉行) oversaw coastal villages.<ref>Arne Kalland, ''Fishing Villages in Tokugawa Japan'', University of Hawaii Press (1995), 19-20.</ref>
