Luggage Forwarding
in Japan

Send your suitcase ahead.
Enjoy the journey with a smaller bag.

Yamato Transport’s TA-Q-BIN, also known as Takkyubin, is a common choice for luggage forwarding in Japan. Your hotel’s concierge or front desk can often arrange delivery!

Ask Your Hotel About Luggage Forwarding

Ask the concierge or front desk to arrange delivery to your next hotel. Before handing over your bag, confirm that the receiving hotel will accept it and agree on a delivery date. The concierge or front desk can assist with contacting your next hotel to confirm they will receive the delivery.
