音屋 = Otoya
〒650-0001
神戸市 = Kobe city
中央 = chuo
央区加納町 = ku kano cho
4丁目 = 4 chome
9-14 岩崎ビルB1 = 9-14 Iwasaki Biru B1

So that makes
Otoya
〒650-0001
Kobe shi chuo ku kano cho 4 chome 9 - 14 Iwasaki Biru B1
(Kobe city Chuo Ku Kano Cho 4 Chome 9-14 Iwasaki building B1) :wave:

Anyone correct me if I made a mistake :relief:

You would most likely need 兵庫県 Hyogo-Ken (Hyougo prefecture) as well

神戸市 = Kobe-shi (Kobe city)
中央区 = Chuuou-ku (Chuuou ward)
加納町 = Kano-cho (Kano district)
4丁目= 4-choume (4th block)
9-14 = street number
岩崎ビル = Iwasaki Bldg.
B1 = floor

I would romanize it chuo-ku, kano-cho 4-9-14. There's really no standard way to write them in English, but I always prefer the above. Seems to flow a bit better.

Tidbit for those that aren't familiar w/ addresses. You don't have to put the building name, as the building number is always included. 14 in this case.

So true, I would also romanize it like this. However, also use a hyphen Kobe-shi, chuo-ku, kano-cho....

A lot of hyphens!!! :-) I often leave out "shi" though, e.g. instead of Yokohama-shi, I write Yokohama city....it depends....
