Thank you for reply. Here is a most simple example. If we need more complex ones, I'll make them.
* City level Whole Chiba "city" Chiba city has 6 "suburb"s. See "subarea" member of relation, for details. http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/2679956 * Suburb level This is one of the suburb. Named "Chuo-ku" (means "Center ward". 中央区) "Chuo-ku" has 7 "Upper Neighbourhood"s. http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/2679950 * Upper Neighbourhood This is one of the Upper Neighbourhood. Named "Matsunami" area. (松波) "Matsunami" area has 4 "Lower Neighbourhood"s. http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/2905610 * Lower Neighbourhood This is one of the Lower Neighbourhood. Named "1 Chome" area(means "1st area", 一丁目 or 1丁目). "1 Chome" is divided into 19 blocks. http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/2905589 * Block address "1 Chome" of "Matunami" has 19 blocks. The polygon divided by roads are called "block". Those are well not mapped on OSM, here is a sample image. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:Japanese_address_blocknumber.png * Housenumber address e.g. 12th block has 7 "house"s. Each house has it's own "housenumber". (In some case, may contain branch, gap, or missing numbers.) http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:Japanese_address_housenumber.png * Same area on other maps. ** Japan Government map http://portal.cyberjapan.jp/site/mapuse4/index.html?lat=35.61716&lon=140.110089&z=17&did=DJBMM ** Yahoo! Japan Maps http://yahoo.jp/Ihjmkg And then, I'm afraid of my choise of the words to place tag namimg. May be some conflict will occur on use of "quarter" with other country.
