However, this number typically is not in any obvious order when just looking at it. House 1 might be right next to House 11, and right next to that might be House 7. So when the block was first formed, if there were three buildings in it, these would be assigned the numbers 1, 2, and 3.
If another building is built later, regardless of where in the block it is built related to building 1, 2, and 3, it would be assigned the number 4, and so on. As you might expect, this can make it a tad confusing to find a specific place within a block.
It also gets rid of certain slight ambiguities that can pop up in Western conventions. By the way, some areas have no city districts chome. The combination of block number and building number may be the most confusing part of Japanese addressing. Firstly, a block number indicates one of the divisions of an area e. Such blocks are normally numbered starting from the closest corner to the center of the area such as a municipal office and continues in zig-zag way.
Secondly, the outline of the block is divided every 10 to 15m, then building numbers are allocated starting from the closest corner to the center of the area such as a municipal office and continues clockwise. As each section has 10 to 15m width, there may be two buildings that have the same number depending on the size of the building. A town block indicator plate is a blue or green colored long rectangular metal plate with address down to block number, and can be found on telephone post or wall of a building.
The address on a town block indicator plate is normally written in both Japanese and English. It sometimes has area name beside the numbers, however, only in Japanese.
