Hi Martin,
thanks again for your feedback (also your private one when we asked about more info on pronunciation).
Before I get back to all your remarks, could you please once again recheck our proposal for upcoming draft version 12 for support of Japanese addresses? By example of the address of the Tokyo Post Office:
Calling Tokyo a 'locality' doesn't work, because it has a governor. It
should be a region. Chioda-ku is the locality, because it has a mayor
and calls itself a city. (Note that that's only the case for "ku" in
Tokyo, not in other parts of Japan, where a "ku" is part of a city.)
Then you'd probably 'promote' Marunouchi to district.
As for the numbers, this may depend on the individual case, but for this
case, block-building-number is on too low a level.
Looking at
https://www.google.ch/maps/place/2+Chome+Marunouchi,+Chiyoda+City,+Tokyo+100-0005/@35.6799221,139.7607346,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x60188bfa04b244d9:0xab68faebacae60ab!8m2!3d35.6796995!4d139.7632912!16s%2Fg%2F1pxy77z66?entry=ttu,
it's clear that 2 Marunouchi (2 Chome) is 7 blocks in total.
2-7 Marunouchi is one block. 2-7-2 is one building.
In more residential areas, streets in Japan are usually not straight or
aligned in direction, and an X-Y-Z three-number combination may include
more than one single-family home.

Would "都" better be part of locality, such as "東京都" ?
Yes, definitely. Also, I don't think that you need the '\n's in the
Addresses. Japanese addresses don't really have the concept of line
breaks, they can be broken at any point, although in general, they are
broken the main boundaries.
Regards, Martin.
Best regards,
Robert
