Japanmap visualizes the structure of Japanese addresses by region, explaining how address suffixes like fu, shi, ku, chōme, ban, and gō vary across areas. The map clarifies which regions use which suffixes and whether areas have governors or mayors—for example, Tokyo's wards have mayors while Osaka's don't. Explore by clicking around, dropping a pin, or typing an address to understand Japan's address hierarchy.
