\n\tContacting The Station’s Lost And Found Office<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Japanese rail stations have offices for lost and found that deal with items left on trains or stations by commuters. Whenever you realize you have lost an item, proceed to the nearest lost and found office.<\/p>\n
Large stations have offices where the staff assists people in finding their lost property, or the articles are categorized depending on the station they were found in, for instance, Tokyo or Shinjuku stations.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For instance, if you misplaced a black leather wallet, describe the wallet’s brand, any marks, as well as its pockets’ contents.<\/p>\n If your item is not located the very first time, feel free. Also, remember to provide your phone number and address and call the office after that, better within a week.\u00a0<\/p>\n Some of the items may even take as long as a few days before they are recorded and reported.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t Looking for a part-time job teaching English in Tokyo, Yokohama or Saitama?
