FAQs

What is a Japanese postal address? ›

The address consists of the same blocks listed for the kanji version, but simply in a reversed order: district, block, and building numbers, neighborhood, city/ward, prefecture, postal code. With the simplicity of a largest-to-smallest/smallest-to-largest address order, it can't get much easier.

Postal codes in Japan are normally based on a 7-digit numeric code that is using the format of NNN-NNNN. In this format description N is a number. The first two digits of this numeric code refer to one of the 47 Japanese prefectures. For example, 40 stands for the Yamanashi Prefecture.

Japanese postal codes are seven-digit numbers hyphenated between the third and fourth digit (000-0000), usually preceded by a postal code mark (〒). If you don't know your postal code, or if you do but don't know the address and want to search for it, please check Japan Postal Code Directory.

In addition to the address itself, all locations in Japan have a postal code. After the reform of 1998, this begins with a three-digit number, a hyphen, and a four-digit number, for example 123-4567. A postal mark, 〒, may precede the code to indicate that the number following is a postal code.

If you live in Japan, surely you've seen it before. It's a symbol that looks like the capital letter T but with an additional horizontal line above it: 〒. Known as the postal mark (yubin kigo), it's a symbol that represents the Japanese postal system.
