Japanese forward geocoding from an address to coordinates
Japanese forward geocoding from an address to coordinates. Keywords: Japan geocoder, address to coordinates, building-level geocode, Jageocoder, chome, block, lot, house. Returns provider-neutral local candidates, coordinates, address IDs, hierarchy levels, unmatched tails, and partial-match warnings. Jageocoder level 5/6 is oaza/aza, level 7 is block, and level 8 is a building or house node when present in the dictionary; town-level evidence is not a door-number or coordinate accuracy claim.
