一、荷物の預け方・送り方は主に3つ

First, let's organize the overall picture. There are three main ways to handle luggage:

方法	特徴	向いている人
宅配サービス	自宅→ホテルなどに送れる	移動を楽にしたい
コインロッカー	一時的に預けられる	観光中だけ預けたい
レンタル	荷物そのものを持たない	荷物を減らしたい

Since each has its own advantages and disadvantages, let's take a closer look in the next chapter.

二、スーツケース宅配サービス

1. What is home delivery service?

This service allows you to have your suitcase delivered to your home, the airport, or a hotel.

If you send it before your departure, you only need to pick it up at your destination.

2. Benefits and Precautions

The greatest advantage of a delivery service is that it makes transportation incredibly easy.

You can move smoothly without worrying about your luggage, even on stairs or crowded trains.

On the other hand, there are several points to note when using it. For example, since delivery takes time, you need to arrange it with plenty of time in your schedule. Also, a fee is incurred, so it's important to consider the balance with the cost.

3. Examples of Major Delivery Services

Yamato Transport (Airport Takkyubin)
Sagawa Express
Hotel Concierge Service

👉 Highly recommended for those who want to make their travel to and from the airport easier.

三、コインロッカーの活用術

1. Situations Where Coin Lockers Come in Handy

Coin lockers are very convenient when you want to store your luggage for a short time.

For example, they are useful when you want to travel light for just a few hours, such as when sightseeing before hotel check-in or after check-out.

They are also often located at stations and tourist spots, making them easily accessible.

2. Size and Price Guide

サイズ	料金目安
小型	300〜400円
中型	500〜600円
大型	700〜900円

Suitcases often require large lockers.

3. Important points during busy periods

Tourist spots and train stations fill up quickly.
Be especially careful on weekends and long holidays.
Airports are highly competitive.

👉 It's a good idea to research locations in advance.

四、スーツケースレンタルサービス

Suitcase rental is a service that allows you to rent a suitcase only for the period you need it.

1. What is the rental service?

Suitcase rental is a service that allows you to rent a suitcase for only the period you need it.

You can choose the optimal size for each trip, so there's no waste.

2. Benefits and Precautions

The biggest advantage of renting is that you eliminate the hassle of purchasing and storing items.

This is especially a cost-effective option for those who only travel a few times a year.

On the other hand, care must be taken with the effort involved in returning items and handling damage.

It is reassuring to check the terms and conditions before use.

3. Recommended for the following people

I only travel a few times a year.
I don't own a large suitcase.
I don't have storage space.

五、シーン別おすすめの方法

How you handle your luggage depends not on "which method is best," but on "which scenario you're using it in." Here, we explain the least stressful methods for specific situations.

■ 1. 空港までの移動を楽にしたい場合

Traveling by train or bus with a large suitcase is more strenuous than you might imagine. You also need to be considerate of those around you, especially during crowded times.

In such cases, using a delivery service to send your luggage to the airport in advance is the best option. On the day of your departure, you can travel with just your hand luggage, which gives you more physical and mental leeway.

■ 2. 観光中だけ荷物を預けたい場合

When sightseeing before check-in or after check-out, suitcases can significantly restrict your range of movement.

In such cases, coin lockers or luggage storage services at stations are convenient.

For short-term use, costs are kept low, and the ability to retrieve your luggage quickly is a major advantage.

However, lockers in tourist areas can often be full, so it's important to check their locations in advance.

■ 3. ホテルに直接荷物を送りたい場合

If you don't want to carry your luggage while traveling, a good option is to have it delivered directly to your hotel.

Especially for long-distance travel or trips involving Shinkansen or airplanes, being able to move lightly greatly impacts your comfort. It's a good idea to confirm in advance if your hotel accepts luggage deliveries.

■ 4. 長期旅行や出張の場合

For long trips where you tend to have a lot of luggage, a combination of "shipping" and "carrying" is effective.

For example, you can reduce your burden by being flexible, such as packing lightly on the way there to save space for clothes and souvenirs, and then using a delivery service on the way back.

六、New Tripのおすすめモデル

So far, I've introduced methods for "depositing" and "sending" luggage, but there's actually one more important perspective.

That is, reducing the amount of luggage itself.

If your luggage is compact, you won't need to rely on lockers or delivery services in the first place, and your travels will be significantly more comfortable.

■ コインロッカーにも収まる｜コンパクトスーツケース「0702Plus」

For city travel or short business trips, "can I avoid checking my luggage at all" is often more important than "where can I check my luggage."

The New Trip 0702Plus was designed with this concept in mind, and its main feature is its compact design, which makes it easy to fit into standard coin lockers.

This eliminates the stress of "finding a place to store your luggage" while sightseeing, allowing you to simply put it in a locker when needed and carry it with you right away.

七、まとめ

There are three main ways to store or send luggage: "delivery service," "lockers," and "rental." It's important to understand the characteristics of each and use them appropriately depending on the situation.

Furthermore, the most effective approach is to "reduce your luggage." By choosing compact items, your travel itself becomes more comfortable.

Choose the method that suits you best and enjoy a stress-free and comfortable trip ✈️
