Parsing these addresses effectively requires an understanding of their structural and semantic context rather than simple pattern matching with regex, which can lead to errors. The article offers insights into the complexities of Japanese address formats while providing tokenizer logic to help those interested in developing their solutions without compromising existing service providers in Japan.
