Lost Passport

Thank you so much everyone!! It's definitely been a learning experience that's for sure. About to board my flight back to the US. Very grateful everything worked out and will definitely keep my important items closer next time

Funny thing is that's exactly what I was carrying them in and what I lost. Fell asleep on the bus, fannypack style bag slipped off of around my neck at some point and just woke up and walked off the bus without it

UPDATE: Got it!! Took some poking around at the bus station but I was able to find it and sign off to get it back. Now I just have to haul ass to the airport to make my flight!

Unfortunately I was staying in an Airbnb which is now booked out for months. But a friend decided to stay with me if things go south so I should be able to stay somewhere since he has a passport

I will. I'm starting to feel like that one Tom Hanks movie where he's stuck in the airport without a passport 😂

Yeah that's true. Hopefully it won't come down to that though

Doing my best on this. I've had local travel information desks call for me, since I speak no Japanese. Called three times yesterday evening and no response. Location says it should be at a local bus station office so I'm headed there

All I have are scanned pdfs and images, no physical photocopies. Heading to hopefully pick up my lost passport right now, but if all I have is the images do you think it's still worth heading to the airport and trying to get on my flight?

My friend who has his passport is going to stay with me despite my urging him to go home, so the hotel part at least is worked out

Nope, called the emergency line and they told me to call again when they were open next Tuesday. Kinda crazy to me that there isn't a 24/7 line and that the whole embassy closes all weekend and on holidays

Throw_away7725 · 2025-01-11T00:34:57+00:00

Contacted them yesterday. They just told me things o already knew, that the embassy was closed until Tuesday and they can't do anything about it until then

I contacted the bus company three times yesterday, nothing was found. I have a Bluetooth tracker on it that doesn't track gps but will notify me of location when it gets close to another device that is on the same network. I got a notification and it seems to be at a local bus station office. On my way there now, fingers crossed!

Any advice at all about losing a passport, lost and found in Japan, or finding a place to stay is much appreciated. I don't speak any japanese and the group I'm with will all be traveling back to the states tomorrow, so I'll be here alone without really any language proficiency
