Japan has one of the highest rates of fax usage in the world. Businesses, government offices, hospitals, hotels, and even many small shops still rely on fax for orders, reservations, applications, and official correspondence. In many Japanese organizations, fax is considered more formal and more reliable than email — particularly for documents that carry a signature or a company seal (hanko).

If you are doing business with a Japanese company, applying to a Japanese institution, or communicating with a government office in Japan, having a fax number on their contact page is the norm, not the exception.
