 I have tried to geocode address in Japan using Nominatim, but it does not
 work. It only work for major city and ward. Threr is a detailed data that
 government provide. So could someone that is developping Nominatim apply
 that data for Nominatim?

 That data can be used freely. It can be download from their website. There
 is no license. They say that; "Use these data freely, but there is no
 guarantee."

 I placed sample data to my server (35MB). This is just a part of total
 data. I hope it is to be sample.

 I have already asked this question at OSM Help.
