Hi list, I tried to add an address to openaddresses.org, but the format doesn't really fit with Japanese addresses. So I discussed this with Cedric Moulet on their mailing list. They said they want to keep it simple. I'm not so happy with their approach, because it only works well for street addresses.
Otherwise there is some available data that could be a good start for Japan: http://nlftp.mlit.go.jp/isj/ Does anyone know if it is allowed to import the data? It could be also imported to OSM instead and then used by openaddresses that way (they use OSM address data as well).
