Trying to locate an old penpal from Japan; 70's?

Question

My mothers trying to locate an old penpal from Japan, We have her name and old address. How can we locate her?

Answer 1

First thing I suggest you try is to write her penpal and send it to the address you have. If it comes back, well, there is not much you can do is you have no idea where he/she might have gone. Also, if your PP is female and might have gotten married and changed her last name, that will further complicate things. If there is anything in the letters they wrote in the past that could serve as a solid base, such as a place of work, or a High School, or something like that that might have the PP on record, you could write to those places expressing your desire to find her/him. People usually will do what they can to help. If worst comes to worst, you can wirte the city hall in which the penpal has their last known address, and request them to locate her/him for you and pass on a message. They won't give you the new address if there is one to be had. Privacy issues in Japan are very strict nowadays.

That is about all I can say for now without knowing more details.

Hope that helps a little, and Good luck.

There are forums for things like this on www.japan-guide.com. You can look up new penpals, but I have also seen links in message boards there trying to locate individuals in Japan.

Are they in touch approximately capital punishment or concerning to the certainty that it replaced into Christmas Day. under a million% of eastern are Christian so i actually do not see that as a concern. Christmas Day potential not something to them. And if capital punishment replaced into regulation in uk, might we actually evaluate which day of the 300 and sixty 5 days we carried it out? might we verify with Hindus, Buddists, Jews, Muslims and so directly to make helpful it wasn't one in each of their holy days? i don't think of so. a minimum of two of those men murdered 3 human beings and were on dying row for some time. i don't see what distinction age makes, and in the event that they have been youthful sufficient to commit the crime, then they have been youthful sufficient to take the punishment. yet what it boils right down to is this - that is as much as the eastern human beings to make eastern regulation. we haven't any suitable to intervene in yet another civilized u . s .'s criminal gadget. we'd be horrified if yet another u . s . tried to intervene with OUR regulations and sentences.
