I am. :) I'll have a look at the data and try to answer the trac ticket later.

Nominatim is now able to handle 'street-less' addresses but I'm not sure that this covers addresses in Japan adequately. There is no problem to extend Nominatim with a specific block-based addressing schema. The main isssue is that it is not quite clear if there ever has been a consensus about the tagging of block-based addresses. As all the developers of Nominatim are based in countries with street-based addressing schemas, we really need to rely on you there. So it would be great if you could discuss in your community the tagging again and find a consensus if not yet has been reached, document that on a wiki-page and file a trac ticket for Nominatim with a link to that wiki page and some example areas where the schema is already being used.
