 === Japanese Addresses and Arabic Numerals ===
 When Arabic numerals are given in a Japanese address, do NOT transcribe the Arabic numeral.  If the address contains non-Arabic numbers, transcribe into Arabic numbers.
+Japan Post has also defined a standard English address format.  The order is reversed when writing in roman letters, to better suit Western conventions.
+More info can be found on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_addressing_system this Wikipedia article].
