Japan's address system relies on a district (ken or ku) sub-district / number / sub-number system - forget the luxury of even-numbered/odd-numbered streets. For example, my address in Yokohama was Yokohama-shi (Yokohama city) Midori-ku (literally, "green district") 2562-1 Miho-Cho (a numbered area of Miho village - not a street number) Leo Palace Wakaba 105 (name and number of apartment) That was a lot of fun when I first arrived in Japan, not speaking or reading any Japanese and having to figure such an address. Oh, and yeh - arriving back in Singapore each time makes it feel more and more like "home" - even for this 9-year ang moh veteran... At least India and Thailand have street names, albeit confusing.

Japan’s address system relies on a district (ken or ku) sub-district / number / sub-number system - forget the luxury of even-numbered/odd-numbered streets.

For example, my address in Yokohama was
Yokohama-shi (Yokohama city)
Midori-ku (literally, “green district”)
2562-1 Miho-Cho (a numbered area of Miho village - not a street number)
Leo Palace Wakaba 105 (name and number of apartment)

That was a lot of fun when I first arrived in Japan, not speaking or reading any Japanese and having to figure such an address.

Oh, and yeh - arriving back in Singapore each time makes it feel more and more like “home” - even for this 9-year ang moh veteran…
