This is a story related achievement so is not missable.
After having successfully had the letter sent to Ryo's father translated by Xiuyu Xia at Russiya China Shop, Ryo will realise that part of the letter is a phone number. You need to find a phone and a phone book, there is one back at the Hazuki Residence in the entranceway, or there is also one at Hirata Tobacco Shop, it's the small shop right at the end of Dobuita, past You Arcade and Smiley Flower Shop (where Yuriko works) near the bus stop and main road. There is also a telephone in Sakuragaoka but there is no phone book there which you will need afterwards.
Once you dial the number you will need to answer the password in the correct order which was also detailed in the letter, you need to answer as follows:
Father's Heaven - Nine Dragons
Mother's Earth - Comrades
After the telephone conversation Ryo will learn that caller is based at a warehouse but doesn't have the location. If you look in the phone book he will learn that the area code is based in Amihama, and after asking around you will further learn that the location is at the harbour and that it can be reached by bus from the end of Dobuita, where you just were if you were at Hirata Tobacco Shop. Wait at the bus stop which is just to the right of the main road after going onto the main road area which is usually inaccessible and then ride the bus to the harbour. Ryo has now reached New Yokosuka Harbour.

This is part of the story and therefore unmissable. The steps for this part of the story are:
From the translated letter in Mirror, Mirror trophy, you will have the phone number 0468-61-564. Find a phone to call it. It may be helpful to do this from the tobacco stand (1) as you can then use a phone book and ask the woman at the stand for help too.
When you phone, you will be given the password:
"Father's Heaven
Nine Dragons
Mother's Earth
Comrades"
Whatever the person says, respond with the answer after it from the list above. So if they say Mother's Earth, reply Comrades.
After the call, look at the phone book (If not at the tobacco stand, another phone book is found in your home, in the cupboard underneath the phone.
This will give you Amihama as a location. Speaking to the woman at the Tobacco stand will let you know it is located at the harbor. In the main street next to the Tobacco stand is the bus stop (2). Wait there for a bus and get on it to go to the harbor. As you walk into the Harbor area, the trophy will unlock.

Unmissable. In the last third of the game you will go to the harbour to find a job. Also note this is close to the point of no return.
