If the address I have has a room/unit number, where should the room/unit number be written on the address?

Question

How much does it cost to send a regular-sized letter to Japan?

Community Answer

Many countries use the Global Forever postage stamp for letter-rate postage of up to and including one ounce of weight. Currently these cost $1.15 in the US. However, there may be other rates or fees applied, so check your local post office for an exact answer.

Question

How can I find the postal code for an address?

Community Answer

Google the city name (or, better yet, the entire address) and get it that way. Or, ask your local post office for the postal code.

Question

Where do I write the addresses on a package going to Japan?

Community Answer

International convention seems to say that you would address a package the same way you would address a letter: put the address on the top or front, on the same surface where you put the postage. You can put the return address elsewhere; just don't put any postage on that side.

Yes. As long as you use US postage, you can mail almost anything.
