Emergency calls
110 for the police
To report traffic accidents or crimes to the police, dial 110.
EMERGENCY CALL
http://www.pref.kyoto.jp/fukei/foreign/english.html
If possible, tell the operator when and where and what happened as precisely as you can, along with your name, address and phone number.
119 for the fire station : Fire and Ambulance
To report a fire or call an ambulance, dial 119. When the operator answers, specify if it's a fire or if you need an ambulance.
Phrases to remember:
Kaji-desu ― “It's a fire”
Kyu-kyu-desu ― “An ambulance, please”
Tell the operator where it is happening precisely along with your name and contact number and/or address. Ambulances are strictly for emergencies only ― do not call one when you can go to a hospital on your own.
If you lose your passport
Have the police create an identification certificate, then apply to your home country’s consulate or embassy.
