Postage to Japan
Send a parcel to Japan
As the world’s third-largest economy, it’s no wonder Japan sees so many parcels travelling in and out of its borders every day. With Evri, you can send your parcels and gifts to Japan in as little as 13 to 14 days, with full tracking and cover up to £20 included as standard. You will need to fill out customs forms and add them to your parcel before sending. If you don’t meet this requirement, your recipient may also have to pay customs and import taxes before they receive their items.

Address format for parcels to Japan
Except for major roads, Japanese streets aren’t named. Instead, cities and towns are subdivided into areas, subareas and blocks. When written in Japanese, addresses usually have their postcode first too.
When you send a parcel to Japan, you can keep things simple by writing the address in English and following the English structure:
- The recipient's name
- The building number, area, subarea/block
- City and postcode
- Write JAPAN on the last line
For example:
Mr J. Bloggs
5-4-2 Ginza, Chuo-Ku
Tokyo 100-0004
JAPAN
But no need to worry, all you need to do is enter the right address information at checkout and we’ll make sure it’s formatted correctly when you print your label.
