Japan Post accepting packages addressed to quake-hit areas

Japan Post is now accepting mail packages for residents in quake-hit areas with eight post offices open in Ishikawa Prefecture's Wajima City, Suzu City, Noto Town, and Anamizu Town.

People will need to collect the packages in person as delivery services remain suspended due to extensive damage to post office buildings, roads, and other facilities during the Noto Peninsula earthquake on New Year's Day.

Starting from February 15, packages can be sent from anywhere in Japan to the following post offices:

Wajima City
・Wajima Post Office
・Monzen Post Office
・Machino Post Office

Suzu City
・Suzu Post Office

Noto Town
・Noto Post Office
・Matsunami Post Office
・Yanagida Post Office

Anamizu Town
・Anamizu Post Office

The Anamizu Post Office is operating out of a temporary facility on the same premises as its damaged building.

Japan Post is requesting that mailers contact addressees to let them know a package is on its way. People are also encouraged to monitor tracking numbers.
