I have heard that the Japanese issue house numbers chronologically.
When you find the right block, you have to hunt for the right number.
It's even worse. An address written "Latin" characters is typically in the
form Bldg#-Block#-Area# DistrictName, WardName, CityName PostCode#, or
sometimes Bldg#-Block#, DistrictName Area#-chome, WardName, CityName PostCode#.
Bldg# is chronological. Area# does not follow any geographical pattern. I
don't know about Block# or PostCode#. Note the lack of a street name in the
address; that's because most non-major streets don't HAVE names!
I've been running into this problem, trying to find on a map the building in
Tokyo where I'll be working in mid-April (10-19). Anybody near either Shiba or
Akasaka want to get together for a biiru (or kohi or whatever) then?
