Finding someone's house in Japan is not so difficult, though you must first get used to the fact that very few streets have names. For example, our house was 2-11-16 Mukogaoka, the latter being a town (or suburb) within the city of Sanda. The '2' designates the district (chome) within that suburb, the '11' the island(or block) of houses to which we belonged, and the '16' was our actual house number. I'm sure that you can find our house on the 'chome' guide above.
Strangely enough, Japanese friends and students often got lost looking for our place, even when they had a car navigation system!
