How do you adress an american package to japan?

Answer 1

You use Roman letters (romanji). The order of the address is as follows:

Name
House number/ apartment number street
district (smaller than the town, the neighborhood)
town or city postal code
Japan

Here's an example:

John Doe
14-2-6 Nara Heights
Takachiki
Asuka-cho 632-523
JAPAN

I'm not sure if you made a mistake for someone in Tokyo or a big city, but even letters with some omissions got to me when I lived there. The Japanese Postal Service is outstanding that way.

When writing an address in Japanese, one follows a different style, but the Postal Service book I got when I lived there wanted the above. Start with the smallest entity, name, and expand to the largest, country.

Do ask the recipient how to write out the address.

Answer 2

just write it in English (romanji)
its exactly the same as you would address any other package.
I do it all the time, there is no problem.

PS. Dont forget to add Japan :)

Answer 3

Regular English spelling in front...Japanese symbols in back or below in small symbols......
