More Japanese Post Office Help
One of the most popular posts (at least from search engine led) visitors on this site is the Japanese Postal Codes in English one. Unfortuantely it only covers 6 major cities. People looking for Okinawan postal codes are out of luck.
But here’s something that everyone who can type Japanese on their computer can use. If you’re living in Japan and a delivery (parcel or registered mail) comes while you are not in, the postie will leave a slip. With the slip you can either call, fax or use the Internet to request a redelivery at a convenient time for you. By far the easiest way is to ask someone who speaks fluent Japanese to call for you but if you’re an independent sort then this link will guide you through the whole process.
