There are two ways to deal with all the mail that will inevitably surface once you're gone. You can pick up a "Change of Address Notice" postcard at the post office, which is usually found on the desk with the banking forms. Fill out the form and return it to the post office. You will need you're Inkan.
Option 1: Persuade a friend who is staying in Japan (or a Japanese person(!)) to receive your mail for you. All of your domestic and international mail can be forwardedto his or her address for one year. Your friend can send the important mail to you. A new form will have to be filled out each year to continue having the mail forwarded.
Option 2: You can have your mail forwarded overseas to your post-JET residence. However, only international mail will be forwarded. Domestic mail (mail originating in Japan) will be returned to the sender. Packages forwarded to your overseas address will have pay-on-delivery charges applied.
Remember to leave your post-JET address with your office.
