Fujioka, Fujioka-shi, Gunma


Explanation:
This is how Japanese addresses are usually transliterated in English.

For 市, you can either translate it to 'City' or leave it as '-shi'.
For 県, it can be either 'Prefecture' or just blank.

Therefore, an alternative could be: Fujioka, Fujioka City, Gunma Prefecture

I think it is better not to translate 市 as there are other units such as 郡 and 村, which may not have standard or authorised translation. To keep consistency, I would leave everything untranslated.
