Stayntouch PMS Japanese Address System
〒 (郵便記号, yūbin kigō) is the service mark of Japan Post and its successor, Japan Post Holdings, the postal operator in Japan. It is also used as a Japanese postal code mark since the introduction of the latter in 1968. The mark is a stylized katakana syllable te (テ), from the word teishin (逓信 communications).
The Japanese address format is written as below, which is how it is set up in Stayntouch PMS:
Japanese: 〒150-2345 東京都渋谷区本町2丁目4-7サニーマンション203
English: 150-2345 Tokyo-to, Shibuya-ku, Hommachi 2 choume, 4-7, Sunny Mansion 203.
