Losing goods is certainly not something we want, especially if the item is valuable. When we lose the goods, there is a big worry of not getting it back. However, this is not the story in Japan. Sakura State may be a paradise of lost goods. Most of the lost items almost certainly return to the owner.

No matter how much the price, most of the goods must be back.

The story of the return of lost goods in Japan, no matter how trivial or precious, is fairly common. However, there is still a curious curiosity why this can happen when in other countries the owner has to share ownership.

Al Jazeera cited one foreign student who lost a mobile phone near Mount Aso in February 2017. Two months later, he received a letter from a police station 500 km away from his home in Kyoto.

The letter contains a notice that a climber found the handphone. A few weeks later the police sent him to the student's address. In fact, in 2016 the Japanese police received cash for a total of 426 billion found by residents.

According to the Japan Times, 3/4 of the amount is returned to its rightful owners. In fact, the amount of cash received by the police in 2015 is much more astonishing at 12.363 trillion. This proves that Japanese people still love cash and that they intend to return what is not hers.

Mark D West is the author of a book entitled "Law in Everyday Japan: Sex, Sumo, Suicide and Status". To Al Jazeera, West said that Japan is a paradise of lost goods. According to his observations, Sakura State has a good loss of goods management.

There are a number of factors that contribute to the running of that management. "Japan has developed a very advanced law, people know that the inventors of lost goods can get rewards from their owners," West said. In fact, he said, they know where the returns like koban or to the lost goods in the shopping center.

Koban is another name for the police squares where people can put things they find. There are about 6,000 kobans across Japan, both in urban and rural areas. This makes it easy for anyone who wants to report the discovery of a lost item.

Koban is also the place where people go when they feel the loss of goods. The effectiveness of the use of koban is supported by the role of parents, teachers and police who socialize koban to children, students and anyone who is in Japan.

Goods received by the police, ranging from umbrellas, mobile phones, to money, will be stored up to three months until rediscover the owner. If up to three months no one picks up, there is a lost goods shop entrepreneur who buys and sells it back.
