❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Do Tokyo’s 23 special wards have a single postal code?
No. The correct seven-digit postcode depends on the locality or a separately registered large-volume recipient. Use the code published for the exact address.
How is a Japanese postcode written?
Write seven digits with a hyphen after the first three, such as 100-0001. Preserve leading zeros. The 〒 postal mark may appear before a postcode in Japanese addresses.
Where does the postcode go in the address?
Japanese addresses normally run from the prefecture and municipality to the smaller area and building, with the postcode before the address. International addresses in Latin script usually run from the recipient and building to the city and prefecture, followed by the postcode and JAPAN.
Are these all the city’s postcodes?
This guide covers Tokyo’s 23 special wards, not the whole Tokyo Metropolis. The table is a representative selection of locality postcodes, not every allocation. Japan Post also publishes separate postcodes for registered large-volume recipients.
