“I realized I left it in a taxi after getting back to my Airbnb. Yuki had a plan in 7 minutes and started calling in Japanese. The driver confirmed it the next morning — huge relief.”

FAQ
Common questions
We organize your case and provide initial guidance within 10 minutes. Human outreach to facilities usually begins within the hour during operating hours.
We don't stop at "not found." We tell you everywhere we checked, whether a police report would help, when to check again, and exactly what to do next. Many items surface days or weeks later — your action plan covers that too.
In principle, no. This is a paid-upfront service covering case review, Japanese inquiries, and follow-up — the search effort itself.
Just the basics — what you lost, where, and when. Photos, a train line name, or a taxi receipt help, but rough details are fine. We'll ask if we need more.
Not at all. Everything between us is in English. We handle all Japanese communication with facilities on your behalf.
Your memories of Japan shouldn't stay behind.
In Japan, unclaimed items move through the system quickly — first to central offices, then to police storage. The sooner we start, the easier it is to trace.
