Choose according to when you next need the bag and where you want to collect it. Compare the complete journey for your luggage, including delivery time and separate charges.
| You need the bag… | Consider | Check first |
|---|---|---|
| During your Kyoto or Osaka stay | Carry it or send it to your accommodation | Train storage, delivery date, accommodation acceptance |
| Only when flying home | Airport delivery, with storage if needed | Airport, deadlines, storage period, pickup |
| After a few hours of sightseeing | Local storage | Size, availability, hours, return location |
Sending to your next accommodation
Confirm that the property can receive the bag and when it should arrive. Ask the shipping provider about your actual route and sending time. Keep anything you need before delivery with you.
Sending to an airport
Check the airport and counter, the arrival schedule and the pickup hours before choosing a service. A flight departure time is not a luggage collection time.

Airport pickup, storage days & cancellation
Yamato counter, north side of Level 4, Terminal 1, Kansai International Airport. Bring your Yamato tracking number and passport. The sender name on the airport shipment must match your passport exactly. For a Terminal 2 departure, collect at Terminal 1 first and allow transfer time.
