Something that could also go into https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_addressing_system https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_addressing_system:
Ryūgasaki-shi in Ibaraki is a japanese town that doesn't use cho, so you get addresses like:
〒301-8611 茨城県龍ケ崎市3710番地 (3710 Banchi, Ryūgasaki-shi, Ibaraki-ken 301-8611)
Japanese news video about this oddity: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MfFnpx7e6k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MfFnpx7e6k
Apparently they neglected to adopt 町名 (chōmei) subdivisions when the town was promoted from machi to shi in 1954.
