How to convert a Japanese address
Provide as much detail as possible, from the prefecture and city through the ward, neighborhood, chōme, block, and building number.
Place a space between the street number and building name so the main address can be distinguished from the floor or unit.
Use the romanized version for reading and international forms, but keep the Japanese version for deliveries and travel within Japan.
Frequently asked questions
Is romaji a translation of the address?
No. Romaji represents the Japanese reading in the Latin alphabet. Place names are usually transliterated rather than translated.
Can I use the result for mail?
For domestic Japanese mail, use the Japanese address and postal code. The romanized form helps international senders and systems.
Why can a building name remain in Japanese?
Some buildings have no registered Latin reading or are too new. Confirm those details with the recipient.
