That seems to work rather well. It put the map marker only a couple houses down from my In-Laws home in Hadano.

That is awesome! I'm adding it to my favorites.

Aychseven, I used this site for over an hour. I'll be able to plan my entire trip using it.

This thread should be moved/copied to the Vacation board and made into a sticky. This site is INCREDIBLY useful for vacation planning. You can figure out exactly what station you need to get off at.

Now if you can just cross reference bus routes.

That site is actually pretty darn useful. Oh how I hate Japanese addresses...

Excellent, thanks for that.
It'll come in handy in the future months.

Thanks for the tip. This tool might come in handy in my quest for my lost friend.
