Explore the Seto Inland Sea by island-hopping and indulging in art, enjoy a carefree Japanese trip without the burden of luggage.

Traveling in Japan, shopping to your heart’s content is definitely one of the joys—but with your own luggage plus all those souvenirs, things can quickly get too heavy to carry. In the past, you either had to rush to check in at your hotel first or fight with other tourists for locker space, which wastes time and dampens the fun—really annoying.

Actually, traveling light in Japan is simple—the “LUGGAGE-FREE TRAVEL” service is designed with travelers’ convenience in mind. With safe and reliable delivery, your luggage travels separately from you, making the old way of dragging suitcases around a thing of the past.

Travel unburdened and have more fun

The “LUGGAGE-FREE TRAVEL” service, a collaboration among three leading companies—“JTB,” “Panasonic,” and “Yamato Transport”—is trustworthy and secure. Just make an online reservation in advance, and your luggage can be sent straight from the airport to your hotel. It also offers services for delivering luggage between hotels, or from hotels to the airport. Not only does this eliminate the hassle of moving and storing luggage during your trip, but you can also send multiple items in one booking—so you can shop for as many souvenirs as you like without worry.

The online reservation system has a fully Chinese-language interface, making it super easy to use—you can complete it all on your phone in just three steps to solve your bulky luggage problems. First, choose your luggage delivery route; there are three options: “airport to hotel,” “hotel to hotel,” and “hotel to airport.” Then select the exact pickup and drop-off locations, and finally enter the size and quantity of your luggage. The system will then provide an estimate, with transparent and clear pricing information.

Online reservations are simple and super convenient
