I almost forgot about this one. 2 weeks ago, just before I left Japan (hopefully only temporarily), I had to send an important letter to an institution. Therefore I sent it as a registered mail (書留) to double ensure that it arrives at the destined place fast and secure. I also asked the woman behind the counter if I could track it somehow and, impressively, she gave me a sheet with some kind of number on it and explained me I can keep track of it at their website. This sheet looked somewhat like this (bad quality, can't afford a camera right now so I have to stick with my mobile phone):
It happened that I just found this sheet again in my pocket and after more than a week I wanted to look whether it really arrived in time. So, logged in at their website and this is what I got:
I'm really impressed. It says that the letter passed through 4 stations (inclusing the one I handed it in) and arrived in Kojimachi 麹町 in less than 24 hours. What is more, they listed the exact time when it arrived and where. Thats awesome, I wish the German Post would be at least half that reliable. :D
