I had a hard time understanding the Japanese address system. Parts of addresses have suffixes like fu, shi, ku, chΕme, ban and gΕ. Which suffixes are used varies between regions in a way that seemed random to me. I couldn't find a map of the system with a modern visualization, so I made one. It also shows whether an area has a governor or a mayor. For example Tokyo's wards have mayors and Osaka's don't.

I'm working on making a latest system from an old pascal system (created in year 2008). And am trying to retrieve all of the data from that old system. It's has been said that the data was encrypted by the creator of the old system. But when i looked into the contents of the saved file using notepad, there are still readable text which are the raw data of the system. That made me think - it might not be encrypted. it might be serialized, instead. Like a saved file of c# unity game. The old system is still alive but the source code of it is no more. And the creator already passed away. So, i cβ¦
