Finally, Google Maps offers romaji labels and limited English search capabilities. (It does not take exact address.) Great feature everyone was waiting for. Sorry, this particular post I linked here is in Japanese. [EDIT: URL changed to translation]

Ha ha - I just found this. Awesome. Selling snowmen to the Japanese. People buy...I'll try it if I can get my hands on it....Not quite as bad as Nakashima Mika's version (honestly what could be?), but...OH wait a minute...it is damn pricey for just a three pack....This might actually be good. I look forward to giving it a try....Congrats on getting photo of the week in the current...well done Danny!! I'm sold! (-:...Good point. Maybe he had a senior moment....I thought the pictures were great! Nice review. :-)...But if he's Catholic...where's that put HIS work ethic? Ha ha. What wins out?...

If you do not have romaji labels, you might want to try this address. http://maps.google.co.jp/maps?hl=en
I tried a couple addresses, but did not work. However, search like, "tokyo, chiyoda" works and gives a list of locations listed on the map.
If you take it further and get directions to/from in English, you can. However, it's not completely in English and it's not accurate in a sense.
If you put correct start/end point on the Google Maps with correct information, you can get somewhat accurate directions, though.
For example, I put "Sake Plaza/Izakaya Tomoe" on my map, then got directions from "Shinagawa Station". It said to take Tokaido line from Shinagawa to Shinbashi, then Ginza line to Toranomon.
Anyway, Google will work things out eventually and this is a great big step forward!
I am so glad this is finally happening!
Of course there is always http://diddlefinger.com/ where you can look up exact addresses in English
I put a tutorial together on Diddlefinger a while back. Here is the link: http://www.atypicallife.com/map-an-address-in-japan/
Oh my - I didn't know about diddlefinger either! Thanks DBR!
Thanks for the info, DBR.
Most welcome guys
