How Japanese addresses work
- Japanese order goes from large to small: postal code → prefecture → city/ward → town → block number → building → room. English order is the reverse.
- The block number is usually three numbers: chome (丁目) - ban (番) - go (号). "6-10-1" means 6-chome, 10-ban, 1-go.
- The postal code alone often identifies the town. Mail from abroad arrives as long as the postal code, block number and "JAPAN" are correct.
- Writing "Tokyo" instead of "Tokyo-to", or "Minato-ku" instead of "Minato Ward", is both fine.
- For delivery inside Japan (luggage forwarding, takkyubin), write the address in Japanese if you can. Copy the Japanese lines above onto the slip.
