Additional suggestions for: Japan

Submitting account information for Japanese accounts is unique in that Stripe requires both kana and kanji name variations for a number of fields:

• first_name_kana
• first_name_kanji
• last_name_kana
• last_name_kanji
• business_name_kana
• business_name_kanji
• address_kana
• address_kanji
• personal_address_kana
• personal_address_kanji

You need to submit information for these attributes instead of their non-variation counterparts (i.e., in lieu of first_name, last_name, etc.). It may seem counterintuitive to provide two fields that represent the same single attribute, but Stripe can't verify a Japanese account until we've received information for both variations. These variations may be composed of full or half-width hiragana, katakana, or Latin characters, with kanji attributes also allowing for kanji characters.

Addresses in Japan

The kana and kanji requirements extend to Japanese addresses as well.

postal_code is always required when providing a Japanese address of either variation. Stripe validates submitted addresses, and for a valid postal_code, we attempt to automatically fill attributes for matching state, city, and town for both address_kana and address_kanji. Requests with address details that are incompatible with the provided postal_code fail.

Here's an example representation of the following Japanese address, with explanations for how each part maps to its corresponding Stripe API attribute:

// 〒150-0001 東京都渋谷区神宮前3-27-15 FLAG 3A
{
  "country": "JP",
  "legal_entity": {
    "address_kana": {
      "country": "JP", // 2-letter country code
      "postal_code": "1500001", // Zip/Postal Code
      "state": "ﾄｳｷﾖｳﾄ", // Prefecture
      "city": "ｼﾌﾞﾔ", // City/Ward
      "town": "ｼﾞﾝｸﾞｳﾏｴ 3-", // Town/cho-me
      "line1": "27-15", // Block/Building number
      "line2": "FLAG 3A", // Building details
    },
    "address_kanji": {
      "country": "JP", // 2-letter country code
      "postal_code": "１５００００１", // Zip/Postal Code
      "state": "東京都", // Prefecture
      "city": "渋谷区", // City/Ward
