Categories: Preparation | Traveling | Transportation

Navigating Kyoto's historic stone paths, narrow side streets, and crowded train station stairwells with heavy suitcases can quickly ruin your arrival day. Take advantage of Japan's seamless luggage forwarding service, known as Takuhaibin.

You can easily arrange through hotel front desks or convenience stores to send your luggage directly from your Tokyo or Osaka hotel to your Kyoto accommodations. If arriving directly at Kyoto Station before check-in, visit the Hands-Free Travel Counter located on the ground floor to have your bags delivered straight to your room while you begin exploring unburdened.
