About Japan Post Co., Ltd.
Japan Post is the national postal operator of Japan, delivering mail and parcels nationwide and providing international shipping, along with banking and insurance through its wider group. It is highly regarded for reliable, precise delivery. For domestic parcels it offers the Yu-Pack service, and for international shipments it provides EMS (Express Mail Service), international parcels (air, SAL, and surface), and small-packet options popular with cross-border sellers. Japan Post connects to postal operators worldwide and is a common choice for shipping goods from Japan. PackageTrackNow is an independent tracking aggregator and is not affiliated with Japan Post; use it to follow Japan Post items alongside shipments from other carriers in a single place.
Japan Post Services & Delivery Times
Japan Post offers domestic and international shipping across several speeds:
- Yu-Pack — domestic parcel delivery throughout Japan.
- EMS — fast, fully tracked international express delivery.
- International Parcel (Air / Surface) — worldwide parcel delivery balancing speed and cost.
- Small Packet / ePacket — economy tracked options for lightweight goods.
- Registered Mail — tracked letters with proof of delivery.
- Letter Pack — a flat-rate domestic packet service.
EMS offers the fastest and most detailed tracking for international shipments from Japan, while air, SAL, and surface mail trade speed for lower cost on less urgent parcels sent overseas by consumers and small businesses.
Japan Post Tracking Number Format
Japan Post tracking numbers for EMS, international parcels, and registered items follow the universal postal S10 format: two letters, nine digits, and the country code JP — for example, EE123456785JP for EMS, or a code beginning with RR for registered mail. The leading letters indicate the service. Domestic Yu-Pack parcels use a numeric tracking number instead. You will find the number on your posting receipt or dispatch confirmation. Enter it exactly as printed, without spaces. For international items, the same S10 number continues to be used by the destination country's postal operator after the item leaves Japan.
Japan Post Delivery Schedule
Within Japan, Yu-Pack parcels typically arrive within about one to three business days, with time-of-day windows available on many routes. For items bound for the United States, EMS is the fastest option, generally taking several business days, while air and surface parcels take longer. Once an item reaches the U.S., USPS completes final delivery after customs clearance. Total transit varies with the service chosen, U.S. customs processing, and destination. Surface shipments can take several weeks.
Tips for Tracking Japan Post
- Keep your posting receipt, which carries the tracking number you will need to follow the item all the way to delivery.
- EMS provides the most detailed international scans among all of Japan Post's shipping services.
- Track international items on the destination country's postal site once they have arrived and cleared customs there.
- Allow time for customs clearance on international parcels, which can pause tracking for a day or more without indicating a problem.
- For registered mail, delivery is confirmed by the recipient's signature, so make sure someone is available to sign.
