Just want to seperate the 2 issues.
Richmond is sister city with Wakayam city. Not the whole prefecture where Taiji is.

Taiji (太地町, is a town located in Higashimuro District, Wakayama Prefecture, Japan.
Wakayama (和歌山市, Wakayama-shi?) is the capital city of Wakayama Prefecture

Sister cities

• Broome, Western Australia (Australia) since 1981; suspended by the Broome city council in August 2009 in protest against the annual dolphin slaughter.[16] The decision on suspension was reversed in October 2009.[17] Historic ties between the two towns date back to the early 1900s, when Japan became instrumental in laying the groundwork of Broome's pearling industry.[17]
• Hakuba, Nagano (Japan) since 1984

This is how confused Japanese name can get. Wakayama of Wakayama imply one is a city and another one is the prefecture.

Similar to Chiba, Chiba means Chiba City in Chiba Prefecture.

A city can only be sister city with another city not with a prefecture (similar to province but smaller)
