  • In case a Japanese address is used, the correct Japanese zip code format (XXX-XXXX) has to be used.
  • The city needs to match the zip-code. Including the prefecture name in the street address is optional.
  • A specific phone number format also has to be used in case of a Japanese address. The correct format is 4912345678 instead of 004912345678 or +4912345678 for example.
