Yamagata Airport Lost and Found

Where to report a lost item at Yamagata Airport

The official contact list gives one contact per place of loss.

The lost-property section of the page does not cover items left on a plane; contact the airline you used.

Official contact information

The contacts below are listed on the linked official pages. Phone numbers are shown in international format for callers outside Japan; the number used inside Japan is in brackets. All hours are Japan Standard Time (JST).

• Yamagata Airport Building

  Items left inside the airport building

  Phone

  +81-237-47-3111 (in Japan: 0237-47-3111)

  Hours (JST)

  9:00–17:30

  The same number is also printed on the page as the airport’s general information line, where the hours are followed by “automated response” (自動応答). The lost-property entry itself does not say whether a person answers.

What to prepare before you inquire

• Whether you lost it inside the building or in the car park
• Date and approximate time you last had the item
• Airline and flight number, if you were travelling
• Item type, colour, brand, size, distinguishing marks, and what was inside
• Photos of the item or of an identical model, if you have them
• An email address and phone number where you can be reached

Already left Japan?

1. Match the place of loss to the contact above. The official page lists phone numbers only; no online form is listed.
2. Call in the +81 format (drop the leading 0), within the stated hours. The same number is labelled “automated response” on the page’s general-information entry, so we have not confirmed whether a person answers lost-property calls.
3. If the item is confirmed found, ask how long it will be held and what is needed to release it. The official page states neither.
4. Ask whether a representative may collect it and what documents are needed. The official page does not say.
5. If you want us to call in Japanese or collect the item where the facility allows it, contact us with the confirmation you received.
6. After we receive the item, we pack it and ship it internationally. We quote available shipping methods and fees individually, and arrival dates are not guaranteed.

How Lost and Found Japan can help

• Contact the airport building or the Airport Office in Japanese and relay the answers to you
• Help you describe the item the way the desk asks
• Collect the item on your behalf, only where the facility allows a representative
• Pack the item and ship it internationally once we have it
• We cannot search the airport ourselves and we cannot make a facility release an item. We work within what the facility allows.

Lost and Found Japan is an independent private service. We are not an official airport, airline, customs or police lost-and-found desk. Consult with us.
