I want to find out how to get my baggages from one hotel to another hotel. I do not feel carry around my baggages. any reasonable service ? thanks.

where I can use Takyubin service ?

Er, takkyubin? Didn't you just answer your own question? Ask the front desk at your hotel. They can arrange it.

by the way, how hard it will be to locate the big locker in Harajuku or OI can Takyubin to airport since I will be in the Habone today and will fly off NRT on on June 27. Any good Ginroku Sushi in Harjuku ? Thanks.

The Takkyubin service is not a guaranteed next day delivery service, so please bear this in mind when you try to use it. (Edit: please see my comment in post 4)

Generally, your hotel will organise the delivery for you and take payment. You'll need to do this by noon. (The cost is rarely over 2,000yen per bag, the service seems to depend on size and distance. As the Takkyubin cost can be as low as 1,000yen, the price difference between using it and paying 500yen for a locker is marginal).

Your bag is guaranteed for delivery 2 days after you hand it in (hence the hand it in on day A and collect it on day C example I gave you in another thread).

I got mine delivered to NRT airport once, I just collected it from the Takkyubin collection point. I believe they have one in each terminal.


I don't know if they have lockers at Harajuku station - not all stations have them. For example, I was never able to locate lockers at Nippori.

I've recently returned from vacation in East Asia, where I visited Japan for the first time. Prior to departure I had learned right here at FlyerTalk of the existence in Japan of the takkyubin service. Many knowledgeable FT'ers had posted useful and friendly info about the service. I used the service on three occasions and it was great! It was also reasonably priced and, more importantly, reliable. My luggage was always delivered the very next day. No problem.

Upon first arrival in Tokyo Narita, I was making a connection to a flight to Osaka. I brought all my luggage to the lower level for the flight connection, and the luggage delivery service was right at the counter opposite the small check-in area. I do not read Japanese, but the English translation sign clearly said: Luggage Delivery. I had the service deliver my luggage to my hotel in Kyoto. The luggage arrived the next day. No problem.

Upon check-out from the Kyoto hotel I had the front desk send my luggage to the Tokyo hotel. The luggage arrived the next day. No problem.

At the conclusion of my visit, I had my Tokyo hotel the day before departure send my luggage to Narita Airport. All they needed to know was the name of my ongoing airline. The luggage was waiting for me the next day at the Luggage Service counter. No problem.

On each occasion, I was sending forward 2 large suitcases. Each suitcase was weighed, and the cost for each ranged from 800 to 2,000 Japanese Yen. Cash (Yen) and credit cards were accepted.

Life should be this problem-free right here in New York.

Just realised that the reason we may have been told our cases couldn't be guaranteed for next day delivery was because it was over New Years Eve (less staff during the holiday season).

I couldn't remember being told this in October.
