"I never imagined I'd experience something like this during a hotel stay in Japan. We stayed for three days, heading out early and returning late each day as we were doing day trips to Kamikochi and Shirakawa-go. When we returned on the evening of the second day, a white piece of clothing I had left on the bed that morning was missing. My wife and I searched through all our suitcases, but it was the only item missing; everything else was accounted for. After thinking it over, my personal guess is that because it was a pure white garment, the same color as the bath towels, the housekeeping staff might have mistaken it for a used towel and removed it.
I immediately contacted the hotel's front desk. However, due to the late hour, the front desk informed me that all the housekeepers had already finished their shifts. They simply took down the details and promised to investigate and follow up the next day. However, the next day, they never proactively followed up. When I went to the front desk to inquire again, I happened to speak with the same staff member. He merely apologized, but his demeanor made it clear they hadn't found it and had no solution. There was no mention of contacting me if it reappeared or offering any compensation. It was, in short, just a verbal apology without any concrete resolution.
While it wasn't a valuable item, for a hotel to lose a guest's possession and then handle the situation in such a manner is extremely unprofessional. Ultimately, to avoid letting it spoil the rest of our trip, we just had to chalk it up to bad luck."
