Japan Post Resumes Quake-hit Area

Japan Post has resumed mail deliveries to parts of Ishikawa Prefecture on the Sea of Japan coast that were hit by a powerful earthquake on January 1st.

Deliveries of letters and parcels have been suspended in the prefecture’s Suzu and Wajima cities and the towns of Anamizu and Noto since the quake. On Tuesday morning, deliveries resumed in about three quarters of Suzu City and all of Noto Town. However the mail will not be delivered even in areas where service has resumed if there is a risk of buildings collapsing or other dangers.

Mail continues to be receivable at local post offices in areas where deliveries have yet to restart. Japan Post said that plans to restore services to wider areas depending on local road conditions.
