Address problems 2009/11/3 10:03
Gerard,

I haven't used or looked at the site you mention, so I'm just guessing, but possible problems I see are..
1. You are missing the prefecture/city name (Tokyo in this case?)
2. The address has to be entered using only double-byte ("zenkaku") characters, including numerals

If you could say what the error message was, it might be easier to pin down the problem.

The hotel address should be:

東京都台東区西浅草 2-25-2

or

2-25-2 Nishiasakusa, Taito-ku, Tokyo
