Instead of posting on the exchange board, try posting on the information board.

Why don't you just Google it?
There are websites that will convert your address to English if you enter your Japanese zip code, and
if you google your parents' house on Google Maps, you should be able to find the address in English.

But as the above people say, it would be easier to write only JAPAN in English and
the Japanese address in Japanese.

As long as you arrive in Japan, someone who lives in Japan will make the delivery.

I am posting this from Google Chrome, not MS Edge, so it is "double money ten thousand".

I have heard that when you send mail from here to Japan, if the mail is sent back to us before it arrives in Japan or if it gets into trouble, the USPS cannot process the mail unless the Japanese address is in English, so the USPS says, "Write the address in English （ and Roman characters ）. USPS says, "Write your address in English and Roman as well.

If it is a sealed letter, write your name and address as if you are sending from Japan to Japan, and write

Tokyo, at the bottom and a double line （ in red or black ） under the word JAPAN.
Tokyo does not have to be Tokyo, it can be Kyoto, Kumamoto, or any other prefecture.

But when I tried to send a parcel from the post office today with that intention,
I wrote the above in Japanese on the parcel itself and wrote "Tokyo JAPAN" at the end, but I was told to write everything in English on the "invoice" which is written separately from it. However, I was told to write everything in English on the invoice, which is written separately from the parcel itself.

You wrote that Google Chrome's Japanese input went haywire and became unusable, but
you can now use it.

Japanese addresses are easier for post office staff to read if they are written in Japanese.

Even if there is no Japanese language service, are there any branches where Japanese Americans or other Japanese speakers work ？
if anyone knows of such a branch.

If you're going to live in America, you should be able to speak English that well.

I have been in the U.S. for 20 years.
I always speak with a Japanese interpreter
because I want to make sure that I understand 100% of what is being said about money and other matters.
If you ask for an interpreter at Bank Of A, other banks, on the phone or at the branch,
they will connect you on the phone line ！
please rest assured.

If you need an interpreter on the spot at Bank Of A, other banks, on the phone, or at a branch
, it is more convenient to skip one step and choose a bank that speaks Japanese directly.

Two years ago, in a topic, it was mentioned that Bank of America near Del Amo had a Japanese staff. I don't know if they are still there or not.
