  Narita: Inquiry form

• On an aircraft

  Contact the airline. Items found in the cabin are generally held by the airline, not the airport.

• On a train or bus to/from the airport

  Contact the operator of that train or bus. Narita’s official airport lost-and-found page does not cover these.

What to have ready when you inquire

• Date and approximate time of the loss
• Terminal and area (and whether it was before or after security or customs, if you know)
• Flight number and airline, if relevant
• Item description: type, color, brand, distinguishing marks, contents
• Photos of the item or of similar items you own, if available
• Your contact details

If you have already left Japan

1. Submit the find chat inquiry as soon as possible. The official page is available in English, so you can start it yourself from overseas.
2. If the item is confirmed found, ask the facility how it can be released. Whether it can be sent to you, collected by a representative, or must be collected in person is decided by the facility.
3. If a representative is allowed, the facility decides what it needs, such as a letter of authorization or ID. These requirements vary by facility, so confirm them before sending anyone.
4. If you want help with the steps in Japan, contact us. We act only as your private representative and the facility has the final say.

A letter of authorization or identity documents may be requested, but what is required depends on the facility and is not something we can promise in advance.

How Lost and Found Japan can help

• Proxy pickup from the facility, where the facility allows a representative to collect
• Coordination with the facility in Japanese
• Support preparing documents and information the facility asks for
• Packing and international shipping from Japan after the item is received

Lost and Found Japan is an independent private service. We are not an official airport, airline, or police lost-and-found desk, and we cannot speed up or guarantee a facility's decision to release an item.

• Retention periods, fees, and document requirements are not stated on the official pages we reviewed, so we do not list them here. Please confirm them with the facility.
