Ecbo and the Keihin Electric Express Railway have started a pilot program on August 19 for a “same-day luggage delivery service for foreign tourists visiting Japan” at Haneda Airport’s Terminal 3 Station.
Ecbo won the President’s Award in an open innovation program conducted by Keihin Electric Express Railway and Samurai Incubate in April 2020, culminating in a capital and business alliance. In 2019, they tested a luggage storage service at stores along the Keikyu Line, accepting over 3,000 pieces of luggage.
This pilot program will allow luggage dropped off at a special counter inside Terminal 3 Station of Haneda Airport to be delivered to designated accommodations on the same day. The service aims to ease congestion in stations and trains caused by large luggage for a more comfortable and smooth access to the airport. It also seeks to verify the needs of the increasing number of foreign tourists visiting Japan and to attract more visitors to tourist destinations along the railway line. The fee is 2,000 yen per item, with a 500 yen discount for Keikyu Line passengers. Same-day delivery to hotels in Tokyo’s 23 wards, Kawasaki City, and Yokohama City is available for luggage dropped off by 3 p.m.
