NEW CHITOSE AIRPORT LOST AND FOUND
New Chitose Airport lost and found: airline, terminal, and JR routes
A practical New Chitose Airport lost-and-found guide for travelers who need to separate airline, terminal, police, parking, and JR New Chitose Station responsibility.
Last verified: September 29, 2026
Short answer
New Chitose Airport does not use one universal lost-and-found desk. The official airport page routes aircraft, check-in counters, and baggage-claim areas to the airline; shops, restrooms, and other airport areas to a domestic or international airport office; airport roads to Chitose Police; parking areas to Hokkaido Airports; and JR New Chitose Airport Station items to JR Hokkaido. Identify the last controlled area before you report.

What to do
- 1
Pinpoint the last airport area
Record domestic or international, terminal, arrival or departure, security stage, shop, restroom, gate, baggage claim, parking area, or JR station. A precise area determines the holder.
- 2
Use the official route for that area
Use the airline for an aircraft, check-in counter, or baggage-claim item; the airport office for eligible terminal areas; police for an airport road; parking management for a parking area; and JR for JR New Chitose Airport Station.
- 3
Prepare a matching description
Include the date, time window, flight or train, terminal, route after the loss, brand, color, size, serial number, contents, and distinctive marks. Keep the same description in every follow-up.
- 4
Confirm the handoff
Ask who holds the item now, whether it has moved to police or another operator, what ID or authorization is required, and whether a domestic recipient or courier is permitted.
Frequently asked questions
Who handles an item left on a plane at New Chitose?
The airport's official list directs items left inside an aircraft, at a check-in counter, or in baggage claim to the applicable airline. Use the airline that operated the flight and include the flight number.
What if I lost something in a New Chitose terminal?
Use the domestic or international airport lost-and-found office shown on the official airport page for shops, restrooms, and other areas. Confirm the current contact route before calling.
What if I lost it at JR New Chitose Airport Station?
The official airport list directs station items to JR New Chitose Airport Station. A train or station record is separate from the airport terminal record.
Can New Chitose send an item overseas?
Do not assume so. Ask the current holder whether it can release the item to an authorized person in Japan or accept a customer-arranged courier, then confirm identity, prohibited contents, and charges.
