The city has 5,751 people per square kilometer. That is very-very crowded.

The Japanese capital is very unique in the way the buildings are numbered.
You'll find that they are numbered in the order in which they were constructed.
The reason is the destruction and development the city has gone through over the last 75 years (bombings, earthquakes, fires etc.).

This very-confusing system makes finding a specific building a bit of a struggle.

The policeman at the neighborhood police booths are very good at this, and will give you directions to a specific address. It is part of their job, and they are more than willing to help.

Most expatriates I met in Tokyo never figured out how to use the address system. Truth is its not that complicated if you use the subway system.
