Is 東品川 a city in Japan? or is 川区?

Question:


i am trying to figure out which one would be the city and which one would be almost like a street address. HELP!

Answer:


tokyo is divided into 23 wards and a few cities. 23 wards constitute the central part of tokyo.

品川区 is one of the 23 wards. 東品川 is a name for an area which constitutes, together with other areas, 品川区.

東品川 is further divided into 5 areas from 一丁目 to 五丁目. Each of them is a town. Thus, 東品川一丁目 is a name for a town.
