There is one important point to add here. Novice translators should note that there are basic resources such as http://www.mapion.co.jp/address/ (select 東京都, select 渋谷区, find 神宮前じんぐうまえ) or http://yuujirou.twinspark.co.jp/zips/index.html that should be used first as they will obviate the need to post to a translators forum.
