  1. Yes, coin lockers are frequently completely full, especially during busy travel season. It is a good idea to secure one early in the day and consider alternatives if all lockers are full.
  2. Most Thunderbird Express trains go to Kanazawa Station. There was one departure going to Wakura Onsen. This one departure is cancelled. The trains to Kanazawa are running.
  3. Yatsuka station is operated by Tobu Railway. There are no JR machines at this station. You can pick up your tickets from any major JR station ticket office, not only Tokyo station.
  4. Yes, the luggage can be stored from 1 to 15 days. Reservations for luggage storage are not available. You will need to be present to pick up luggage from storage and ship it.
  5. It is possible, but it’s a very tight connection. There are later departures on Hanwa line towards Wakayama that will give you more time to make the transfer. 6:27pm and 6:42pm 6:27pm departure from Hineno will arrive at Wakayama at 6:58pm Wakayama to Kii Tanabe Station (Kinokuni Line) will depart at 7:30 pm
  6. Chuo Line Rapid from Kanda normally arrives on platforms 11,12. For more information and platform map please visit: https://www.shinjukustation.com/shinjuku-station-map-finding-your-way/
  7. The most economical option is probably to send your luggage to your next hotel or airport with delayed delivery by seven days. This service is offered by Yamato Transport: https://www.global-yamato.com/en/hands-free-travel/scene02.html Your hotel may also offer luggage storage. Other luggage storage options around Ueno are listed on this page: https://www.uenostation.com/lockers-and-baggage-storage-in-ueno/
  8. The easiest way to get to Odakyu station from NEX platform is to take escalator up to New South Exit street level and walk across the street to enter Odakyu station. If you need directions the station staff will be happy to help you.
  9. Yes, you can buy a ticket at Shin-Imamiya station on the day of travel. There is no need to reserve seats in advance. For more information please visit: The Nankai Airport Line: The Airport Express & Rapi:t Services for Kansai Airport & Namba
  10. The availability of lockers depends on season and time of day, it is not guaranteed. The lockers are frequently full, especially the large ones. We would suggest considering luggage delivery services to your destinations, or holding luggage at your hotel before check-in or after check-out. Most hotels offer this service.
  11. The best and fastest way to deal with locker issues is to contact station staff on the spot. ========================================================= The Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO) operates a 24/7 multilingual call center service "Japan Visitor Hotline".

  12. For Special Rapid you can pay base fare by a paper ticket or IC card. For Haruka express you need a reserved seat ticked from the ticket office. It can be purchased on the day of travel or earlier.
  13. Hello Andrew, The Special Rapid Service between Kyoto and Osaka is a commuter type train. It doesn’t have a dedicated luggage space or reserved seats. Outside of rush hour times you can bring reasonably sized luggage on this train. Limited Express Haruka runs from Kyoto to Kansai Airport with a stop in Osaka. This train has reserved seats and luggage space. https://www.westjr.co.jp/global/en/travel/shopping/access/train.html
  14. There is an overnight train from Osaka, but not Kyoto. https://www.osakastation.com/the-sunrise-seto-sunrise-izumo-overnight-sleeper-trains-from-osaka-to-tokyo/ From Kyoto there is an overnight bus by Willer Express. https://www.kyotostation.com/intercity-highway-buses-from-kyoto/
  15. This article explains the difference between Airport Express and Rapit: https://www.osakastation.com/the-nankai-airport-line-the-airport-express-rapit-services-for-kansai-airport-namba/ On Google Maps Rapit is displayed at "Nankai-Limited Express" and Airport Express as "Nankai-Kuko Line"
