Japan Post Services Affected by Heavy Rainfall Across Multiple Regions
Tokyo, Japan – September 2, 2025, 06:30 JST – Japan Post Holdings has issued a notification regarding the significant impact of widespread heavy rainfall on its postal and parcel delivery services. As of this morning, extensive disruptions are being experienced across various prefectures due to severe weather conditions.
The company has stated that these adverse weather events, characterized by persistent and heavy downpours, have unfortunately led to unavoidable delays and, in some instances, temporary suspensions of services. The primary cause of these disruptions is the elevated risk of safety hazards for delivery personnel and the potential for damage to mail and parcels.
Specific regions experiencing these impacts include, but are not limited to:
- Kyushu Region: Many areas within Kyushu are reporting significant delays. This includes prefectures such as Fukuoka, Saga, Nagasaki, Kumamoto, Oita, Miyazaki, and Kagoshima.
- Chugoku Region: Operations in parts of the Chugoku region, encompassing prefectures like Tottori, Shimane, Okayama, Hiroshima, and Yamaguchi, are also facing disruptions.
- Shikoku Region: Post offices and delivery centers in Shikoku, including Tokushima, Kagawa, Ehime, and Kochi prefectures, are experiencing service interruptions.
- Kansai Region: Certain areas within the Kansai region, such as Hyogo, Osaka, Kyoto, Shiga, Nara, and Wakayama, may also encounter delays.
Japan Post emphasizes that the safety of its employees and the secure transit of all items entrusted to its care are of paramount importance. Therefore, decisions to temporarily halt or delay services are made with the utmost consideration for these factors.
Customers who have sent or are expecting mail or parcels to or from the affected regions are kindly advised to anticipate potential delays. While every effort is being made to minimize the inconvenience, the unpredictable nature of heavy rainfall means that restoration of normal service may be gradual.
Japan Post is closely monitoring the weather situation and working diligently to resume full services as soon as it is deemed safe to do so. The company expresses its sincere apologies for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciates the understanding and patience of its customers during this challenging period.
For the most up-to-date information on service disruptions in specific areas, customers are encouraged to refer to the official Japan Post website or contact their local post office.
