If you have decided to travel down from Tokyo
to Kyoto, stopping for a few visits on the way, and you do not want to
be loaded down with baggage, Takkyubin is an excellent solution.
For a very reasonable price,
you can have your luggage delivered to your next accommodation the next
day (with variations depending on the distance). For example from
Tokyo, a suitcase can be delivered the next day in Kyoto for only 1900 yen, and in Kyushu for 2200 yen.
To have your luggage delivered, you can:
- Make a request by telephone or by internet.
- Take your luggage to a 'convenience store' offering the Takkyubin delivery service (it will be indicated by a symbol of a black cat carrying it’s kitten at the store entrance).
- Take your luggage directly to the Kuroneko Yamato
counter (a delivery company that provides Takkyubin services) in your
neighbourhood. If you do not know where it is, lookout for a delivery
employee in a yellow and green uniform and cap and ask them. For information, although Yamato remains the largest delivery company, there are others such as Sagawa Express or Nittsu.
If you are staying in a hotel, of course, the staff will take care of all this for you.
