Is there mail on sundays in japan
In Japan, mail delivery is typically suspended on Sundays, as well as on national holidays and New Year's holidays (Oshogatsu).
According to Japan Post, the country's postal service, mail delivery is usually suspended on Sundays, except for some special cases, such as:
- Urgent mail: If a mail item is marked as "urgent" (, kyūkyoku), it may be delivered on Sundays.
- Express mail: Japan Post's express mail service, known as "Yu-Pack" (), may deliver mail on Sundays, depending on the sender's request and the recipient's location.
- Special events: During special events, such as festivals or sports events, mail delivery may be suspended or delayed.
It's worth noting that some private courier services, such as Yamato Transport (, Yamato Tsūshinsha) and Sagawa Express (, Sagawa Ekisō), may offer Sunday delivery services, but this is not a standard practice.
If you're planning to send mail to Japan, it's a good idea to check with the sender or the recipient to confirm whether Sunday delivery is possible.
