Luggage in Japan

Hands-free travel is easy in Japan, where luggage delivery and storage services are quite developed:

  • Any traveler arriving early can entrust their luggage to their accommodation reception desk, where it will be watched until check-in;
  • With the famous Takkyubin delivery service, it is possible to send luggage between two addresses in Japan and have them delivered within 48 hours maximum;
  • There are plenty of storage luggage facilities, like coin lockers, in the country and especially in the train stations. They are trustworthy and offer a wide range of lockers sizes to fit anyoneā€™s needs.

What to pack in your suitcase? You should prioritize personal belongings such as clothes, shoes and medication. Donā€™t bother with cosmetics or notebooks (paper is heavy) that you can buy in Japan in 100 Yens shops or in cute specialized shops.

Most rental apartments or houses include a washing machine. In any case, there are many launderettes across the country, at the buildingā€™s ground floor, near hotels or inns.

A rolling suitcase is a good choice to travel in Japan. Moving around in train stations or airports is easy as elevators and / or escalators are always available to access train platforms and boarding gates. A backpack is ideal for a hiking journey. Be careful, however, to keep your bag at your feet if taking a train or a subway during the rush hours.
