How to address a letter to Japan

Question

This is all the information I have is this enough?

Street Address: x*x Sakuraecho

City: Nagano

Answer 1

no, its not enough. usually there is a number where the x's are.

it should be

###-## sakuraecho

"city name" "prefecture name"

"zip code" JAPAN

no quotations though :]

Answer 2

here is how you should address it:

x*x Sakuraecho

Nagano-s**+, Nagano-ken

380-0862 (this is the postal code)

Japan

I live in Nagano prefecture myself so I looked up the postal code for you from the Japan Post website. I wanted to e-mail you as well because the last time I answered a question like this my answer was stolen ;_;

Answer 3

You may put zipcode 380-0862 　

but, be not necessary actually.

x*x  Sakurae-Cho, Nagano (380-0862) is enough.

Answer 4

Yeah you will probably need the postcode- although with the efficiency of the post in this country I reckon it would get there even with just that info on it. (This is true- I once had a letter find me that had pretty much everything, except my name and area, on it wrong- scary)

Answer 5

You should also get ahold of the postal code.

Although not essential, it will speed up the delivery of your mail.

You can write the postal code at the top of the address or at the bottom.

It can look like this:                            

Postal Code                                        name                                                

street address                                

......  Sakurae-cho                                    

Nagano, Japan                                

Or like this:

Name

Street address

......   Sakurae-cho

Nagano, Japan

Postal Code
