How to write a Japanese address on a envelope?

Question:


I've gotten my Japanese friend's address, but its the first time I'm writing a letter to Japan, so I have no idea how to write it on the envelope!

She's just written it on one line so I don't know where to write what, can you please tell me how to write it?

This is address, but I took off the numbers because i'm not sure if i'm giving away her actual house number

0-0-00, Ogaya, Otsu, Shiga, 000-0000, Japan

Thank you!

Answer:


The order of forms of the address is reversed to US in Japan.

000-0000 Shiga Otsu Ogaya 0-0-00, Japan

Even if order is different, the letter arrives if the number (postal cord and lot number) is correct.
