Since there are no street names in Japan, block numbers are used instead. Moreover, several quarters are combined into small quarters – chome, several small quarters – into one large quarter, namely mati. Finally, several large districts are municipalities.
The street in the Japanese address system is indicated in the form of numbers. Here is an example of a house name in Nagoya City: 3-chōme-25-18 Sakae, Naka Ward, Nagoya, Aichi 460-0008, Japan. If you decipher all this from the end, then the country name comes first, followed by the zip code, the name of the city, the name of the city neighborhood, the name of the big neighborhood (mati), the neighborhood, the neighborhood and the house number: 18, 25, 3.
