For example, the address of the Tokyo Central Post Office is {{{ 〒100-8994 東京都中央区八重洲一丁目5番3号 東京中央郵便局 〒100-8994 Tōkyō-to Chūō-ku Yaesu 1-Chōme 5-ban 3-gō Tōkyō Chūō Yūbin-kyoku }}} or {{{ 〒100-8994 東京都中央区八重洲1-5-3 東京中央郵便局 〒100-8994 Tōkyō-to Chūō-ku Yaesu 1-5-3 Tōkyō Chūō Yūbin-kyoku }}} The order is reversed when writing in roman letters, to better suit Western conventions. The format recommended by Japan Post is: {{{ Tokyo Central Post Office 5-3, Yaesu 1-Chome Chuo-ku, Tokyo 100-8994 }}} In this address, Tokyo is the prefecture; Chuo-ku is one of the special wards; Yaesu 1-Chome is the name of the city district; and 5-3 is the city block and building number. In practice it is common for the chōme to be prefixed, as in Japanese, resulting in the somewhat shorter {{{ Tokyo Central Post Office 1-5-3 Yaesu, Chuo-ku Tokyo 100-8994. }}}
