How to send letter to Japan

I'd guess the 100 has been misplaced and is perhaps supposed to either go in front or behind of Tokyo on the line above in the example. I could be wrong though, I'd just ask the Post Office as suggested above.
 
What's the address?

The short answer is no though, you don't need to put 100. Looks like in the example this is the post code. Mine is 044-0081, but you could put Japan after or under it won't matter.

Must be honest, saw thread title, assumed author would be 'helpimcrap'. Surprise by actual author.

-edit

To be more helpful, their address are like ours, second last line is nearest major city
Last line is the postcode, but country name

These can be separate or can be on same line

Write like you write it in the UK because you are in the UK if they can't work it out then they don't deserve the honor of delivering it.
 
I worked at the Royal Mail long enough to know how to get your letter to Japan. It's a simple as putting the address on it with the destination country at the bottom. All the Royal Mail do at the distribution centre is look at post codes when sorting all the way down the line until your postie sorts them to street addresses. Instead they'll look at yours and see JAPAN before the postcode and throw it into the... I don't remember what it's called.

As for posting it take it to the post office because a regular stamp may not be enough postage.

100JAPAN points the mail towards Tokyo. It would still go there if you only put JAPAN on it, it's probably the main hub.
