Think it is better not to translate place names. Example とわのひがし| Towano Higashi The meaning of the word Towano City East Area. Part of the city Towano. but, "East 'of' Towano" is "とわの'の'ひがし". The meaning of the word The east side of the city of Towano. Outside of the city Towano. What is the appropriate representation in English? 1.Towano Higashi 2.Towano East 3.East Towano 4.Otherwise Column. What's Towano(とわの) meaning : Eternal(永遠の) Is not forever. Kanji have to read some. 永遠:Eien / Towa Selected according to the emotional expression. 永遠の愛:Eien no ai. 永遠の愛:Towa no ai. meaning:Eternal love. Meaning is the same. Eien:Represents the meaning of the word. Towa:Adds a sense of emotion. Towa is think the distant future. Emotional more strongly. Towano city is etanal city. A fantasy town. =) u know? Eternal Sailor Moon.

I think both "Towano East" and "East Towano" could be considered correct. There are various occasions of both notations in real cities/districts.
I personally would go with "East Towano"

Column:Phonetic equivalent Combination which becomes the same reading. Play on words. とわの|Towano 永遠|Towa 奥十羽野|Oku Towano 奥|Oku 十|To 羽|wa 野|no Play on words. Towano city is "十羽野" city. The beautiful image in the kanji phonetic equivalent. Meaning:Field of ten with a feather. What it is. 奥(Oku) is Back. The sea is in front. A mountain is in the back. Is because Japan is surrounded by the sea.
