Postal codes, block numbers, and the 〒 that finally makes sense — then fill out the form without asking.

Japanese addresses are confusing in a specific, learnable way, and once the block system clicks, forms stop being a wall.

By the end

You will be able to read a Japanese address top to bottom, find the building from a chome-and-banchi, write your own address on a form or a parcel slip, and know which parts you can safely leave alone.

Who this is for

JLPT N4-level learners who live in, visit, or ship things to Japan — or who need to fill out a Japanese form and have been quietly avoiding it.
