Narrative:

Landing south at nagoya you are always cleared to cross nezam intersection at 13000 ft MSL. This intersection is not plotted on the far east high/low 5/6 chart. It is only referenced on the 10-1 area chart in the upper right hand corner as a distance to nezam. Crews are having to ask tokyo ATC to spell it phonetically during a busy time for tokyo and for our crews. The commercial chart company should have this intersection plotted on the 5/6 chart. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: reporter stated that this intersection nearly always has an altitude constraint during arrs. However; crews new to nagoya are not aware of the intersection's location because it is not charted well; and therefore have difficulty identifying it and consequently meeting the restriction. The intersection should be on the nagoya 10-1 chart.
