find Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Akira Takashima), provider of the "Lost and Found Cloud find," will significantly expand the area covered by its "Cross-Search Service," which allows users to inquire about lost items across multiple businesses at once, starting from Wednesday, April 1, 2026.
In addition to the nine existing businesses in the Kanto region, 11 new businesses (*), including JR East, JR Hokkaido, and major department stores, will participate. By building a network that spans a total of 20 businesses across the Kanto, Kansai, and Hokkaido regions, we will reduce the "search burden" for the owners of lost items and the "response costs" for businesses, realizing a smoother return process.
*Includes businesses whose names are not disclosed.
◆ What is "find chat" Cross-Search?
Previously, for lost items where the location of loss could not be specified, the owner had to contact each potential business individually, which was a significant hassle for both the owner and the business. To address this issue, "find chat" launched a cross-search service in December 2025 that allows users to inquire about information across multiple transportation operators and facilities with a single query.
The owner simply selects multiple facilities where they might have lost the item through "find chat," and an operator will search across the target locations and provide a response. This reduces the effort for both the owner of the lost item and each business.

◆ About "Lost and Found Cloud find"
"Lost and Found Cloud find" is a service that uses the power of technology to solve the worries and anxieties of those who have lost items, such as "it's hard just to get in touch" and "I can't find it even when I search." We constantly incorporate the latest technology and upgrade by linking with various services to improve convenience. In addition to managing lost property, we provide a one-stop system that covers everything from improving the return rate and streamlining the work of administrators to communication with users and coordination with police departments.
By supporting the creation of an environment where "lost items," which inevitably occur in crowded places like railway companies, commercial facilities, and theme parks, can be found quickly and efficiently, we contribute to improving user satisfaction. This builds a relationship of trust between the implementing companies and users, and contributes to the construction of a society where people can live their daily lives with peace of mind. <Lost and Found Cloud find> https://service.finds.co.jp/
