Hi,<br>
<br>
I tried to find a Wiki page about tagging Japanese addresses
correctly.<br>
I only found the general "JA:Key:addr" page:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/JA:Key:addr">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/JA:Key:addr</a><br>
Is there already some other guideline how to do this?<br>
<br>
For example for a building I could add the following tags?<br>
<blockquote>addr:full=兵庫県神戸市中央区雲井通5-3-1<br>
add:postcode=651-0096<br>
addr:country=JA<br>
addr:province=兵庫<br>
addr:city=神戸<br>
addr:suburb=中央区<br>
addr:place=雲井通5-3-1<br>
addr:housename=サンパル<br>
</blockquote>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
Already here I have various questions:<br>
<ul>
<li>Do I include 県市区町名 in tags like addr:province or addr:city?<br>
"addr:suburb=中央区" or "addr:suburb=中央"?<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>How to tag the English/Romaji/Kana address? <br>
"addr:city:en=Kobe" and "addr:city:ja_kana=こうべ"?<br>
This going to become a huge list of tags then for every address.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Is "addr:place=雲井通5-3-1" correct? <br>
What to do with 上田町 and 二丁目? Do we split an address into more
tags?<br>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Since Japanese addresses have such a nice hierarchy using polygon
areas, it would be easy to derive information from parent address
polygons (instead of adding this information to each and every
building).<br>
In this case we have for example for "二丁目" as
"boundary:admin_level=
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
10", but how to apply the address information?<br>
</p>
<p>Anyone has a best practice already?<br>
</p>
<p>Thanks,<br>
Daniel<br>

PS: Where I live now I received a very detailed map delivered to
all households by the city, published by 日本特殊地図協会. The block
polygons and other building shapes look identical to GSI/KIBAN
2500. But there is no information about the data source. Property
owners layers is added, but maybe provided by Zenrin or the city?<br>
