More than a postal code API

One careful answer from complicated Japanese address data.

Japan Address Mix API preserves uncertainty and source boundaries instead of flattening every result into a false success.

Postal code lookup

Detect hyphenated, plain, full-width, and 〒-prefixed Japanese postal codes.

Address normalization

Turn one natural Japanese query into consistent structured address fields.

Official enrichment

Combine Japan Post with Digital Agency ABR and Ministry of Justice parcel evidence where available.

Local government codes

Return JIS municipality codes and Machiaza IDs when the source supports them.

Coordinates with precision

Expose latitude and longitude together with their actual coordinate level.

Explainable confidence

Separate evidence score, confidence grade, match level, warnings, and provenance.

How it works

One input. Traceable decisions.

  1. 1
    Normalize safely

    Unicode, postal-code, and Japanese address-specific normalization without hiding the original input.

  2. 2
    Resolve from official sources

    Query Japan Post and the Digital Agency ABR, then verify residential-address or parcel detail against available official public data.

  3. 3
    Explain the result

    Return matched, partial, ambiguous, or not_found with candidates, warnings, and data versions.

Quick Start

Your first normalized result in minutes.

Data provenance

Quality claims you can inspect.

Every successful search response includes source versions and source-specific status. Residential and parcel-level evidence is marked preview, loaded from integrity-checked regional data, and reported separately from coordinate precision. Where lower-address public data is unavailable, the API returns a town-area fallback instead of guessing.
