| Being prepared is the first step to avoid an accident or crime. |
 |
|
 |
If you become involved in or witness a traffic accident or crime, make an emergency call to the police by calling 110. No area code is necessary to call from anywhere in Japan.
|
|
|
- Once you reach the police, tell the operator the following:
- what happened (explain clearly such as "(there was) an accident")
- when it happened
- where it happened
- your name
- phone number you are calling from
- Find and describe landmarks nearby or call from a public pay phone if you do not know the exact address of the site.
- You may call 110 from your mobile phone.

| If you become a victim of theft, call 110 (no area code is necessary) or report the theft to the nearest police box. You should also immediately contact your bank and/or credit company if your ATM or credit cards or bankbooks are stolen. |
|
If you have lost or inadvertently left behind your personal items and wish to recover them, visit the nearest police station or police box to report the loss.
|
*If you have left behind your belongings on a train:
Ask a station attendant for help. It makes the search easier if you remember the destination of the train and the train car you were on.
*If you have left behind your belongings on a bus or taxi:
Contact a local service office of the bus company or the taxi company.
*If you find a lost item:
If you come across a lost item, hand it over to the nearest police station or police box as soon as possible. If you are at a train station or a department store, hand it over to a station attendant or to the lost and found section of the store.
