I sent a FUp to NHK Nagoya in English and Japanese with PPC and a sample letter of how other NHK stations send a verification but got everything back with this letter.
Anyway, thanks for replying.
Received in 5 weeks.
Thanks to Koji Shimotori I found out that "ベリカードについて" (vericard) is an interesting Google search term when seeking information about Japanese QSLs.
QSL card "ベリカード"
QSL letter "ベリレター"
QSL "受信確認証"
Reception Report is called "受信報告書"
Don't forget to use also other search machines like Bing or DuckDuckGo. They give often different results.
I never thought that some stations should provide info about QSLs on their website. Here are a few examples.
