A couple of measures to fix #3832:

  • Reduce rank of neighbourhoods, so that they are hierarchically below place=quarters as defined in the wiki. This also reduces the area of influence of place=neighbourhood to 500m.
  • Reduce rank of Japanese admin boundaries by one level. See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:boundary%3Dadministrative
  • When adding place nodes to the address terms of a place, do only as far as twice the distance of the same place node of a given kind. This should account for areas where neighbourhoods are very small and place nodes very close together, which still allowing to catch large drawn-out neighbourhoods.

Neighbourhoods shoud be below a quarter hierarchically speaking, so
downgrade them a bit. Consider named landuses the area form of a
meighbourhood and put it at the same level.
