Family and Group Luggage Storage in Japan
Reviewed by Max
Make room for the people in the trip.
Several travelers can mean a surprising number of bags. Silk Crane stores family and group luggage so every suitcase does not need to fit into the same taxi, shuttle or train journey.
Send the extra bags from your hotel front desk or a convenience store and arrange delivery when the group needs them again.
Monthly and annual storage plans are available; shipping is charged separately.
The family fits. The spare suitcases take another route.
Picture a family finishing a longer hotel stay before a week of rail travel. The spare suitcases go to storage, and everyone keeps the clothing and essentials needed for the week.
There is less to count at each station and more room to help the children enjoy the journey. The larger bags can be delivered for the final stay.
One adult can sign up and organize the supplied sending instructions for the group. Send the spare cases from a hotel front desk or a convenience store, while each traveler keeps medication, documents and the clothing needed during shipping.
Plan the bags together
List what the group is sending
Count suitcases, carry-ons, duffels and other bags, with approximate sizes. For younger travelers, see stroller and child-car-seat storage.
Choose storage for the actual items
Ask about family arrangements and compare the storage plans and costs. Keep daily essentials and valuables with you.
Identify every package
Label each bag with the account name and suite number. A clear list makes it easier to request the right bags later.
Deliver together or split the plans
If the group separates, ask about different destinations or delivery dates. Shipping is separate per package and movement; use the shipping estimates.
Family storage questions
Can a family store several suitcases?
Yes. Share the number and approximate sizes so the storage arrangement fits the bags.
What if the bags do not fit in our taxi?
Send or store the extra bags separately. Keep the luggage needed for the immediate journey with you.
Can different bags go to different hotels?
Yes. Give the destination and date for each clearly identified bag in advance.
Give the group more room
Let the extra bags skip the busiest travel days. See luggage storage plans
