You need to apply for a new passport in England
and enter Japan on a “short stay” status,
however, this visa is very likely to restrict your
activities. Therefore, I will explain another way
in which you can re-enter Japan after you have certified
the fact that you obtained a re-entry permit.
Regarding proof of possession of your re-entry permit,
it will be possible for you to ask the Immigration
Office to endorse the fact that you have been issued
with a re-entry permit. In order to have them do this
for you, you have to make out a power of attorney
letter in duplicate for a personal representative
in Japan; one for applying for a copy of your alien
registration certificate, and the other for a copy
of your latest re-entry permit application form, and
then send them to your attorney. Furthermore, if sending
your attorney the other documents including a copy
of your newly issued passport and the report of the
loss from the police office, the procedure should
go smoothly. If your attorney is one of your family
who lives with you in Japan, you are not required
to produce a letter of attorney.
You will certainly be allowed to re-enter Japan with
your new passport and the copy of your alien registration
certificate endorsed from the Immigration office.
