# Adds Japan-specific fields to the Terminal Locations API ## What’s new Adds new fields to the Terminal [Location](https://docs.stripe.com/api/terminal/locations.md?api-version=2025-09-30.clover) resource to support [creating locations](https://docs.stripe.com/api/terminal/locations/create.md?api-version=2025-09-30.clover) for addresses in Japan that you can associate with your readers. ## Impact You can now [create locations](https://docs.stripe.com/api/terminal/locations/create.md?api-version=2025-09-30.clover) for addresses in Japan and associate them with your readers. This ensures that they automatically download the configuration needed to properly process charges in Japan. The [Terminal Location](https://docs.stripe.com/api/terminal/locations.md?api-version=2025-09-30.clover) object for Japan requires different fields than other countries. You can’t set the [address](https://docs.stripe.com/api/terminal/locations/create.md?api-version=2025-09-30.clover#create_terminal_location-address) field for locations in Japan. The new [address_kana](https://docs.stripe.com/api/terminal/locations/create.md?api-version=2025-09-30.clover#create_terminal_location-address_kana) and [address_kanji](https://docs.stripe.com/api/terminal/locations/create.md?api-version=2025-09-30.clover#create_terminal_location-address_kanji) fields contain the same fields as the existing [address](https://docs.stripe.com/api/terminal/locations/create.md?api-version=2025-09-30.clover#create_terminal_location-address) field, with the addition of an optional `town` field. A valid [Terminal Location](https://docs.stripe.com/api/terminal/locations.md?api-version=2025-09-30.clover) in Japan must contain: One or both of: - `address_kana` - `address_kanji` At least one of: - `display_name` - `display_name_kana` - `display_name_kanji` The Terminal Location can optionally contain the `phone` field. ## Changes #### REST API | Parameters | Change | Resources or endpoints |
