post restante tokyo
 

Hey,

I am moving to Tokyo to study there but I wont know my exact address until I arrive there. However, I need to send myself a package before I leave for Tokyo. Does anyone know how the post restante system works in Japan? Can I address it to it to the central post office in Tokyo, and will they keep it for a few days? Glad if anybody could help me out.

The system works as in any other countries that have post restante.

You can address it to any post office in Japan, large or small. They keep it for 10 days. All you need to bring is a piece of ID.
