Even the very small towns have blocks. Out in the countryside, you have a small cluster of homes packed tightly together surrounded by all the farm fields. It's very rare to find a house with no other houses around it.

Actually, most homes in Japan are not numbered. The mailing address only narrows it down to the block. The mailman just knows who lives where. You can actually buy a mapbook that shows each home and the name of the family who lives there. People don't move very often. This creates a bit of confusion when foreigners move into town. Often the foreigner who moved to an area first will get all the mail for all of the other foreigners.

What if the house is on the edge of a vast forest or in very small town without blocks?

How? Both the US and Japanese system are precise; they have to be.

Actually buildings do not have street number addresses. Streets do have names and they are commonly used to get to areas highways have numbers and expressways have names as well. The video is correct about the individual building address system. .
