So this is part of the Hagi Street Directory. What you are looking at is a really zoomed in melways - all the buildings are individually marked, and the kanji on each block is the (male) owner's name!The ALTs were invited to a Christmas party, but there was no address on the invitation, so at the Board of Education we used this map to find the house!
Can you imagine how much effort it must be to make this??? So obviously my name is not on there - but my building is marked - right next to 'Gusto' (a Japanese fast food place).
As Shak remarked, I suppose there is no 'unlisted' option in Japan!

I really hope they don't do that ffor bigger places. How big would the Fukuoka one be let alone Tokyo!
I guess it could work over here in a place as small as Wagga...
