agree  Minoru Kuwahara: possibly, possibly. Grammatically incorrect terms, or names, should I say, would be hard to render correctly into re-translation into other languages. -

Explanation:
This would be my best guess. It may not even have an official romanized spelling, but you might try googling this with the rest of the address to see if it shows up. (That said, *not* appearing on the Web would not mean it doesn't exist...)
