sending luggage from kyoto station

[seasider]

I would like to send 2 suitcases from Kyoto station to a Hotel in Nara to arrive the same day. Is this possible?

Hi there,

There is a luggage delivery company called Carry Service at Kyoto Station, but they only send luggage to hotels inside Kyoto. To send your luggage to Nara, you would be better off using the Yamato Transport Company, which can do same day deliveries: http://www.kuronekoyamato.co.jp/en/hands-freetravel/index.html

You can find their offices in Kyoto on this page: http://www.kuronekoyamato.co.jp/en/hands-freetravel/kinki/index.html#kyoto_wrap

It is also possible to send luggage directly on from your hotel or from the airport:

I hope this helps!

Best wishes,

Hi, is it possible to send my luggage from my hotel in Kanazawa to this de;ivery company Carry Service at Kyoto Station and pick it up there myself when I get to Kyoto 1 or 2 days later?

Thanks for any help if possible.

Hello there,

I'm afraid that you cannot send luggage to Kyoto Station Carry Service. Your best option would be to send your luggage directly to your hotel in Kyoto using the Yamato Transport Company mentioned above. You might actually be able to do that directly from your hotel in Kanazawa, as some hotels do include that service.

Here are the links for Yamato Transport:

And here is their office in Kanazawa: http://www.kuronekoyamato.co.jp/en/hands-freetravel/chubu/index.html#ishikawa_wrap

I hope that helps.

Best wishes,
