# Entities supported for the country jp

The following entities are supported for the country jp (Japan)

entity | description | example
--- | --- | ---
address | A postal address. In general, a score of one is given to an address that includes a numbered, common format street address (for example "23 North Road"), a known city (for example "London"), and a postal code in a viable format for the country (for example "SW1A 2AA"). Deviations from this form lead to score penalties. The ordering of these elements varies by country. OpenText recommends that you use prefiltering to improve the performance for this grammar. See Configure Prefiltering. This entity returns the addresses in a normalized format by default. The normalized form standardizes apartment and house numbers, expands shortened forms of region names, removes additional punctuation, and converts the text to uppercase. For example "ABIDEI HURRIYET CD TANER PALAS APT 9, KAT:7, D:9, 34437 ISTANBUL". The exact order depends on the country. You can turn off normalization by setting normalize_addresses=false in the address_stoplist.lua script. This option can improve performance when you do not need normalization. | 1-2 Echizen, Nanao-shi, Ishikawa-ken 926-8611 1-2-34, Yaesu 4-Chome, Nanae, Atsuta, Hekinan, Kagoshima, 123-4567, Japan 2-3-4 Kotoni-1-jo, Nishi-ku, Sapporo-shi, Hokkaido 4-2 Kita-1-jo Nishi, Chuo-ku, Sapporo-shi 6-22, Aza Uwadaira Oaza Nagahama, Kazamaura, Ashigarashimo, Toyama 8-1 Hongo-dori Higashi, Chuo-ku, Sapporo-shi P.O.
