Some would claim that Japan has one of the best postal services in the world, this is because in a country with so many ultra-compact cities, efficient posting is paramount.
There are approximately 24,000 post offices in Japan, and that is actually quite an insane number when you consider the fact that Canada only has over 6,000, but is over 20 times larger than Japan. Japanese post offices offer a variety of services. Aside from regular services you’d expect such as the collection and sending of postal items such as letters, parcels, postcards, postal orders and registered mail within Japan and overseas, Japanese post offices also offer banking and insurance!
ATMs are a default feature in Japanese post offices which can be used to withdraw money for both locals and travelers. You can also pay bills there. What’s more, you can even arrange “Yu-pack services” which means sending a suitcase to the airport or golf clubs to the golf course, and temporary bag storage so you can forget lockers and store your luggage at the post office!
One thing you’ll definitely notice is all the unique post cards available at Japanese post offices. Their designs can range from special sceneries, local delicacies, auspicious messages and more, guaranteeing that they will be cherished by the receiver.
Did you know that there is a post office at Oomomo Aberdeen? Aside from post cards, you will find the most complete and exclusive collection of metal coins within Richmond City there. The Oomomo Aberdeen post office is also the only one being appointed by “The Royal Canadian Mint” for a large-scale “Coin Exchange Event” within Richmond City.
In Japan, most post offices are open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm, closed on weekends.
But at Oomomo Aberdeen, the post office is open 7 days a week!
