Abstract
A reading apparatus is configured to communicate with a wireless tag attached to an object. The reading apparatus includes a container having a plurality of side walls and an opening such that the object can be placed through the opening, an antenna at a bottom of the container, configured to transmit and receive radio waves to and from the wireless tag, and a plurality of reflective elements arranged in the side walls so that the radio waves radiated from the antenna and reflected by the reflective elements do not leak through the opening to the outside.
