“We left a suitcase on a platform at Tokyo Station which contained items precious to my son. After a Google search, my wife found Japan Lost and Found Service. We were a little hesitant to use such a service at first, but Yusuke was quick to respond, secured the item before requesting any payment, and did exactly what he promised!”

“Left my laptop on a train to Tokyo and only realized it when going through security at the airport before leaving Japan. That flight was full of anxiety and confusion about what to do or who to contact. I’m so grateful Japan Lost and Found Service located my laptop and got it safely back to me. Yusuke was very communicative, honest, and efficient throughout the entire process, from filling out the online form to receiving my laptop. I can’t recommend this service enough — impressive work!” — 🇺🇸 V.M., USA


⚡ Problem

Lost something during your trip in Japan?
You’re not alone. Japan has a reliable lost and found system, but recovering an item can become much harder once you’ve moved on or left the country.

You only realized it was missing after leaving

You’ve already moved on, and going back isn’t an option.

Communication in Japanese is tough

Trying to call lost & found desks or fill out inquiry forms feels impossible.

You don’t know who to contact

Was it at the airport, train station, hotel, or restaurant?

Even if found, shipping is complicated

International shipping is rarely offered, and paperwork is daunting.

We handle the frustrating parts of recovering your lost item in Japan — so you don’t have to.

👋 Meet the Founder


Yusuke Baba — Founder, Japan Lost and Found Service
When I lost my MacBook on my honeymoon, I felt the same anxiety many travelers experience — far from home, unable to communicate, and unsure what to do next.
That experience inspired me to create a service that helps international visitors recover their lost items in Japan — safely, personally, and with care.
Every case is handled personally by our team, with the same care and attention we'd give our own belongings.
