I will regret staying here for the rest of my life.
I left my engagement and wedding ring very visibly on the counter upon check out. Yes, very stupid of me. I contacted the host a few hours later, sure I would be given them back since this is Japan we’re talking about! To my surprise, the host claimed nothing was found and that was the end of it. They allowed me to go check the apartment… but only ONE WEEK after our check out. Just a joke really. The items weren’t lost in the flat, I didn’t drop them or anything. I had placed them on a specific surface and they were taken by whoever entered next. Filled with disappointment and regret. Absolutely no Japanese values shown and highly recommend staying elsewhere. Do not trust these people with any of your belongings.
