The Japanese addressing system is used to identify a specific location in Japan. When written in Japanese characters, addresses start with the largest geographical entity and proceed to the most specific one. When written in Latin characters, addresses follow the convention used by most Western addresses and start with the smallest geographic entity (typically a house number) and proceed to the largest. The Japanese system is complex and idiosyncratic, the product of the natural growth of urban areas, as opposed to the systems used in cities that are laid out as grids and divided into quadrants or districts. Address parts Japanese addresses begin with the largest division of the country, the prefecture. Most of these are called ''ken'' (県), but there are also three other special prefecture designations: ''to'' (都) for Tokyo, ''dō'' (道) for ''Hokkaidō'' and ''fu'' (府) for the two urban prefectures of Osaka and Kyoto. Following the prefecture is the municipality. For ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |
