あの、昨日、電車の中に御朱印帳を忘れてしまったようなんですが…こちらで預かっていたりしませんか?

Um, I think I left my goshuin-chō (temple stamp book) on the train yesterday... Would it have been kept here?

少々お待ちください。忘れ物センターに確認いたします。特徴を教えていただけますか?

しょうしょうおまちください。わすれものセンターにかくにんいたします。とくちょうをおしえていただけますか?

Please wait a moment. I will check with the lost and found center. Could you tell me its characteristics?

Gesture & etiquette

Point to self, then make a 'forgot' gesture, perhaps tracing a hand through the air as if getting off a train.

When reporting a lost item, be prepared to describe it in detail (color, size, unique features) and mention where and when you think you lost it.
