===Ōita=== Many areas of [[Ōita Prefecture]] including the cities of [[Ōita, Ōita|Ōita]] and [[Usuki, Ōita|Usuki]] commonly use an unofficial parallel system known as {{nihongo|"administrative wards"|行政区|gyōseiku}} or {{nihongo|"neighbourhood council names"|自治会名|jichikaimei}}.<ref name="usuki">{{Cite web|title=暮らしの窓口 > 住民基本台帳 > 住民異動届|trans-title=Life events > Basic Resident Register > Reporting address change|url=http://www.city.usuki.oita.jp/modules/usuki01/article.php?storyid=1#05|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130720193413/http://www.city.usuki.oita.jp/modules/usuki01/article.php?storyid=1|archive-date=2013-07-20|website=Wayback Machine|publisher=臼杵市役所 [City of [[Usuki]]]}}</ref> While outwardly similar, these addresses end in ''kumi'' (組) or ''ku'' (区): :大分県大分市羽屋4-1-A組 :''Haneya 4-1-A-kumi, Ōita-shi, Ōita-ken'' :大分県臼杵市臼杵洲崎四丁目1組 :''Suzaki 4-chōme 1-kumi, Usuki-shi, Ōita-ken'' As the names indicate, these derive from traditional neighbourhood councils. While they continue to be used locally (e.g. school and electoral districts) and may be accepted for mail delivery, they are not considered official addresses, and individual buildings in each ''kumi'' will also have a standard ''ōaza-banchi'' address.<ref name="usuki"/> For example, Usuki City Hall, while within Suzaki 4-chome 1-kumi, has the formal address of Usuki 72–1, which may be prepended with ''{{Interlanguage link|ōaza|ja|大字}}'' for clarity: :〒875-8501 :大分県臼杵市大字臼杵72-1 :''Ōaza Usuki 72-1, Usuki-shi, Ōita-ken 875-8501''
