I wonder why Asa never tries asking any relatives on her father's side. Doesn't she have a second set of grandparents, her father's siblings, or cousins, or that?

I don’t think it is very accessible. I could be wrong but Japan family registry are tied to local offices, this means that Asa needs to know where the dad family is residing in which I doubt she knows.
