JTB and Central Japan Railway Company (JR Central) launched the same-day baggage delivery service “LUGGAGE EXPRESS” on November 1.
The service offers same-day delivery between eligible accommodations within Tokyo and Kyoto City, Japan. It leverages “Tokaido Mach-bin,” a same-day baggage transport service that uses operational space on the Tokaido Shinkansen bullet train.
Reservations are accepted on the dedicated website by 9:00 a.m. Baggage can be received at the destination the same day after 6:00 p.m. or after 9:00 p.m. Prices (including tax): the Regular service, arriving by 9:00 p.m., costs 13,200 yen; the Express service, arriving by 6:00 p.m., costs 16,500 yen. Drop-off counters will also be available at Tokyo Station and Kyoto Station.
The companies plan to increase participating properties and hubs, add same-day delivery with midday pickup after checkout, offer delivery services for travel agencies, and expand to other areas such as Osaka.
