===Sapporo=== Sapporo's system, though official, differs in structure from regular Japanese addresses. The city-center is divided into quadrants by two intersecting roads, Kita-Ichijo and Soseigawa; blocks are then named based on their distance from this point, and farther from the city center, multiple blocks are included in each. The east–west distance is indicated by ''chōme'' (a slightly unorthodox usage of ''chōme''), while the north–south distance is indicated by ''jō'', which has been incorporated into the ''chō'' name. The address to [[Sapporo JR Tower]] is:<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.jr-tower.com/profile/ |title=会社概要 {{!}} JRタワー 札幌駅から直結のショッピングセンター 〈アピア・エスタ・パセオ・札幌ステラプレイス〉|trans-title=About us {{!}} JR Tower, shopping malls connected to Sapporo station (Apia, Esta, Paseo, and Sapporo Stella Place) |website=Jr-tower.com |access-date=2017-05-27|language=ja}}</ref> :札幌市中央区北5条西2丁目5番地 :''Sapporo-shi, Chūō-ku, kita-5-jō-nishi 2-chōme 5-banchi'' This address indicates that it is the fifth building on a block located on 5 ''jō'' north and 2 ''chōme'' west of the center, named with the actual cardinal names of ''kita'' (north), ''minami'' (south), ''nishi'' (west), and ''higashi'' (east). The directional names for ''jō'' extend for about 7 kilometers to the north–south along the main Soseigawa Dori, but only about 3 kilometers at the most to the east and west; outside of that area, ''jō'' have other names, though the starting point of each is still the corner in the direction of the city center, often using landmarks such as the [[Hakodate Main Line]] or large roads to mark the new numbering. For example, far in the outskirts is the Sapporo Tachibana Hospital, at:<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.fukuwakai.or.jp/access.html |title=札幌立花病院 {{!}} -アクセス |trans-title= Sapporo Tachibana Hospital {{!}} Access|website=Fukuwakai.or.jp |access-date=2017-05-27|language=ja}}</ref> :〒006-0841 札幌市手稲区曙11条2丁目3番12号 :''Sapporo-shi, Teine-ku, Akebono-11-jō, 2-chōme-3-ban-12-gō'' Building 12 on block 3 of a ''chōme'' measuring 11 ''jō'' north and 2 ''chōme'' west of where the Hakodate Main Line meets Tarukawa Street. Or Toyohira Ward office, at:<ref>{{cite web|title=区役所案内|trans-title=Ward office guide|url=http://www.city.sapporo.jp/toyohira/ward_office/01gyoumu.html|access-date=2017-05-27|website=City.sapporo.jp|publisher=札幌市豊平区役所 [Toyohira Ward, City of Sapporo]|language=ja}}</ref> :〒062-0934 札幌市豊平区平岸6条10丁目1-1 :''Sapporo, Toyohira-ku, Hiragishi-6-jō, 10-chōme-1-ban-1-gō'' Building 1 on block 1 of a ''chōme'' measuring 6 ''jō'' south and 10 ''chōme'' east of where a small street meets the [[Toyohira River]]. The direction is understood based on the quadrant of the city the ''jō'' is considered to be in, which may be off from the actual direction to the city center, depending on the landmark used. Far-flung and less crowded parts of the city may instead use a standard ''chō'' name, rather than a numbered ''jō'', such as [[Makomanai Park|Makomanai]].
