Seeking Finding Japanese Father

Dnlxpascual · 13 Feb 2022

Hi, good day. I'm very new here. I am very sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you very much for the time. I know there is a one in a million chance that you will answer my question but I just really want to try my best. I've been searching for my long lost father , I've been searching for him for many many years. I'm very worried about his condition. I lost my contact with my father. I hope someone could help me . Thank you.

I searched for his name with Google Japan, and the very first link that came up was the President and CEO of a company called 国際貿易 ("International Trading") in Shunan City, Yamaguchi Prefecture:

山と里、海との循環。塩造りから始まる、瀬戸内版・持続可能な経済モデル。 | sotokoto online（ソトコトオンライン）

第１次産業から第３次産業までを一連で行う「第６次産業」は、農山漁村の新しいカタチとして広まりました。ただ、その「産業」を支えてくれるのは自然環境。荒れた自然を再生し、地域に新しいビジネスを起こす。瀬戸内海の小さな島で始まった循環型の「産業革

If you scroll down, you can see this person (he's the guy with grey hair smiling and standing in front of a map).
Do you know what your father looks like, where in Yamaguchi he lives, and/or what he does for a profession?

Wow! What a coincidence that is.
This page has a phone number for the company.
And this is the company's homepage, with a contact form.
Maybe you can try to reach out to him that way?

Thank you for your response.

His former company couldn't provide you with his current contact info?
Were you able to explain that you're his son and you're worried about him?

Ushijima is a tiny (1.96 square km) and sparsely populated (population: about 50) about 8 km off the coast of mainland Yamaguchi Prefecture.

Actually, you could try calling the community center there: 0833-79-3198
Given that so few people live on the island, I imagine there's a good chance that almost everyone knows each other.

I see. I wish you the best of luck in your search.
That said, I can't guarantee you'll be able to find a fluent English speaker at that number, given that it's a remote and very rural island.
Do you know anyone who speaks Japanese and could make the call for you?

Failing that, you could try sending a letter to the community center's postal address (unfortunately, I couldn't find a homepage or email address):

山口県光市大字牛島７６３－９
Ushijima Community Center
Oaza Ushijima 763-9
Hikari-shi, Yamaguchi-ken
743-0003 JAPAN

You could also try sending a letter to his company. They may find a way to get it to him.
