Mizuho Bank's Lost Deposit
I was in @Tokyo on business, needed to deposit a rather large check at the Mizuho Bank Shinjuku Chuo Branch Office. The line was surprisingly long, even for a weekday afternoon. After what felt like… more
Ugh, that's a nightmare. Mizuho can be... particular. I doubt they have a formal grace period. Your best bet is to call the Shinjuku Chuo branch immediately and explain the situation. Maybe, just maybe, they'll be understanding and let you deposit it another day. Otherwise, you might have to FedEx/DHL the check back to yourself with the stamp and then try again. That sucks, but it's probably your only option. Good luck!
Shinjuku Banking Woes?
I'm heading to @Tokyo next week for a business trip and need to make a large deposit at the Mizuho Bank Shinjuku Chuo Branch Office. I've heard horror stories about long lines at Japanese banks, even… more
Yeah, Mizuho Bank can be a nightmare sometimes. Shinjuku's a busy area, so expect crowds, especially near closing. I wouldn't chance it that first day, honestly. You're already arriving late, and fighting that rush hour + bank queue would be stressful. Just do it the next morning. You'll be way less frazzled, and probably get it done much quicker. Plus, you'll have more time to, you know, actually enjoy Tokyo.
