Hi,

I think your understanding is basically correct.
In Tokyo area, the first section is 03.
It would be 03-1111-1111.
I'm not an expert, but as far as I know,  the third section is always 4 digits.
As for the second one, your y-x rule sounds true.
Like Yokohama area, the first section is 045.
it would be 045-111-1111.

There are examples.
03-1111-1111.
06-1111-1111.
045-111-1111.
0427-11-1111.
0994-11-1111.

If you go to real rural areas, you might see the following case:
09944-1-1111.

In the case of fixed phones (I mean, not mobile phones),
 they are always 10 digits, I believe.

As for Mobile phones,
090-1111-1111 is the usual case.

You might as well be calling NTT for help.
