The operator says items are normally held at Nagoya, Nakajima or Kinjo-futo station, gathered each Wednesday and handed to the Aichi Prefectural Police Minato Police Station on Thursday. The address is not a single collection counter.

Before you call

The Aonami Line links Nagoya Station with Kinjo-futo and is used by travellers heading to LEGOLAND Japan, the SCMaglev and Railway Park and Port Messe Nagoya. Items are gathered by date and passed to the police, so one call to check the holding station saves a wasted trip. The phone line is Japanese-speaking and answers on weekdays only.

Call script: Japanese, romaji and English

Replace every ◯ with your own date, number and name. These are example lines, not a promise from the office: whether the item is found, and the rules for pickup or shipping, are decided by the desk that holds it.

Common questions

Can I call in English?

No Chinese-language phone service is listed; enquiries are in Japanese. If the desk cannot handle the call in English, use the Japanese script below and ask them to speak slowly; language support can change, so confirm the current situation on the official page.

When is it easiest to get through?

Call right after the line opens at 09:00, or in the hour before it closes at 17:30. Lunchtime (12:00–13:00) is often unanswered. Saturdays, Sundays, public holidays and 29 December to 3 January.

What happens after a week?

There is no single national rule: the office decides how long it keeps an item and when it is passed to the police or another desk. The operator says items are normally held at Nagoya, Nakajima or Kinjo-futo station, gathered each Wednesday and handed to the Aichi Prefectural Police Minato Police Station on Thursday. The address is not a single collection counter. If the item has not been found yet, ask which desk is holding it now, for a reference number, and how long it will be kept.

Can someone collect or ship it for me?

The office decides whether a proxy can collect the item and which ID or authorization is required. If you have already left Japan, ask whether it can be shipped within Japan or overseas, and confirm the conditions and cost with the office. The collection script below has the questions to ask.

What is Native Call?

You can speak English, Mandarin, or Cantonese. The person in Japan hears Japanese, and their Japanese reply is translated back into your selected language.

  1. 1

    Open the app and enter a supported Japanese number. International calling is built in; no Japan SIM needed.

  2. 2

    Take turns speaking. Translation delay varies with the network, phone route and utterance length.

  3. 3

    Repeat names, dates, times and outstanding steps before hanging up. A connected call does not prove the request was completed.
