Hi there. I would like some feedback on how to properly support Japan addresses.

Do Japanese users expect to input the addresses from the "largest geographical area to the smallest one", as documented by the UPU?

Could you provide some annotated screenshots of the typical address input form a Japanese user would expect?

The -reloaded branch has been merged, so this is going to need to be reimplemented.

The address input form of EC-CUBE.
EC-CUBE is open source e-Commerse software and most popular in Japan.

According to my Japanese client the right order is

zip =郵便番号
state = 都道府県
city = 市町村
address 1 = 番地
address 2 = ビル・マンション名

The patch in comment #9 follows the correct layout for a Japanese address.
I have added to the patch to include the Prefectures that are used in Japan.
The images attached shows an example of how Japanese addresses are structured. This was taken from the Japanese Amazon website.

Find attached the patch and example image.

New patch so it outputs the name instead of the id

Patch in #13 works for me.
Gives the Japanese prefectures and outputs the name instead of the id.

Patch #13 is good.

What is required for this patch to be commited to the module?
Is more testing required or are the approval comments above enough?

Maybe using a new address formatter like 'Inverted address units' which would just change the weights of the elements would make sense here.
In my case, the client wants this inverted order at least for Japan and China.

"Inverted address units" formatter may solve the weight issue, but the patch in #13 also adds the Japanese prefectures so they are available for the user to choose from a dropdown. So I think the patch would be a useful addition to the module.
