Please take a look at the following explanation: http://www.city.matsuyama.ehime.jp/FAQ/Anser/FAQ11977.html Every lot in a residential area has a "番地" which is the number to uniquely identify the piece of land. And only when the area is subject to "住居表示" , as defined in "住居表示に関する法律", a "番" associated with a "号" is issued to each building in the area. So, usually different "番-号" and "番地" are assigned to the very same place and there may be two "番-号"s in a "番地" and V.V. Since "港区芝公園" is definitely subject to "住居表示", technically you cannot write "5番地" in place of "5番" for this address. But, many native Japanese are ignorant about this distinction and there are no real-life issues brought up here.  Therefore, my argument is indeed pedantic :-) Precisely speaking, the explanation of “番地” and “番” above is not correct.

If you order something tasty, getting it right is its own reward! Also, "1-5-25 (reading: いち・の・いち・の・に・じゅうご" Your middle いち should be a ご ^^ I learned how to do this well in Chinese by ordering delivery to my residence.

Every time someone asks my address when I'm in Japane I show them a card... pathetic :P I bet the locals will be far more convinced of my good intentions if I can actually TELL them correctly where I am staying.
