家屋番号
kaoku bangōかおくばんごう
Building number
The registry's identifier for a building, assigned when the building was first registered. It is usually based on the lot number of the land beneath it, but not always — condominium units, for example, are often numbered in the order they were sold. You need it to order a building's title record.
