Japan is the third largest economy in the world with a very developed economy. Express logistics is also quite developed in Japan, so what is the postal code in Japan? Let's find out.
Japanese postal codes were introduced in 1998, and the rules for postal codes are 7 digits. The first 3 digits are added with a connecting symbol "-" in the middle, followed by 4 digits. The 7-digit postal code in Japan is all numbers, without alphabetic symbols.
Example: 951–8073. The first 3 digits represent the area, and the last 4 digits represent the branch.
Japan adopts such a postal code to increase the speed of mail sorting, because it is now mechanized to sort parcels, which can improve work efficiency and make delivery time faster.
