Store Golf Clubs While Sightseeing in Japan
Reviewed by Max
Take the clubs to the course, not through every sightseeing day
Your Japan trip can have room for golf, gardens, good food and a few days that have nothing to do with a tee time. Send the golf bag to Silk Crane during the sightseeing part, then arrange delivery when you want to play again.
Shipping is as close as your hotel front desk or a convenience store. You travel with the luggage you need for those days, without a storage-location visit or a return trip to collect the clubs.
Monthly and annual storage plans are available; shipping is charged separately.

Kyoto gardens between two golf stays
Imagine two golf stays with five Kyoto days between them, with both shipments arranged before the trip. After the first round of the holiday, you pack the clubs and send them to storage instead of taking the long bag through stations and into another small hotel room.
The Kyoto days are for gardens, tea and time with a friend. The onward delivery to the next course or hotel is already planned. Your own clubs return to the itinerary when you need them, and the bag has stayed out of the sightseeing days.
Sign up and follow your supplied instructions before sending the clean, dry, covered golf bag from your hotel front desk or a convenience store. Keep Kyoto clothes and everyday essentials during shipping while the next course delivery follows the agreed plan.
Two useful moments to send the equipment
Imagine arriving with your golf clubs but visiting the cities before the first round. Send the packed golf bag from the airport Yamato counter after signing up for Silk Crane, keep your travel essentials and arrange delivery to your golf destination when you need the clubs.
Once the golf is finished, send the bag from your hotel and enjoy the rest of Japan or an Asia side trip with less to carry. Arrange delivery to your final Japan hotel or Japan departure airport in advance.

Finish the round, then give Tokyo a few days of its own
Imagine a Japan visit from Southeast Asia with golf first and Tokyo at the end. After the last round, the clubs have done their job for this trip. Your next plans are meals, shopping and time around the city, so send the golf bag into Silk Crane storage and continue with the luggage you need for those days.
Open your account and follow the sending and protective-cover instructions. Arrange the handoff from your hotel front desk or a convenience store. Keep everyday clothes, documents, valuables and anything needed during shipping in your travel bag. If another round is still on the schedule, decide where the clubs need to arrive before sending them away.
For the Tokyo days, our cooking class and food tour guide can help you choose a different kind of activity. A morning at Tsukiji also makes a useful change of pace. These are itinerary suggestions, not claims about a particular customer’s golf or restaurant bookings.
When the clubs are staying in Japan until another visit, keep the storage plan active and arrange their next delivery around the actual booking. A course needs to know it is receiving your bag: confirm its arrangements, reservation name and play date. The golf delivery and return guide covers those details.
Include each shipment in the budget, whether the next destination is a course or a hotel. Storage and delivery let the clubs follow the golf dates while you enjoy the days between them.
Let the golf bag skip the city stops
Send the packed clubs to storage when the golf segment ends, and enjoy the next part with your everyday luggage. It is easier to change hotels, move through stations and take a side trip when the golf bag is not another piece to manage.
Plan a route with Tokyo, Chiba and Mount Fuji golf, Kyoto, Osaka, Kobe and Hyogo, or Hokkaido golf. Our guides also cover Kyushu and Okinawa and Karuizawa and Nagano.
Leave the clubs here for an overseas side trip
If the holiday includes another country before you return to Japan, your golf equipment can stay in storage here. Take the luggage you need for the side trip, without checking the golf case for those extra flights.
When you come back, arrange delivery within Japan to the hotel or golf venue where you need it. For longer gaps, monthly or annual storage can keep the equipment here between visits.
Finish golf, then send the clubs ahead
Choose your storage plan, pack the clean, dry equipment using your account instructions, and arrange sending from your hotel front desk or a convenience store. Keep the shipment’s tracking details while you continue the trip.
If you need help with protection for the bag, use the golf-bag cover guide. It keeps the practical packing details together.
Plan the next delivery when you plan the round
Share the course or hotel, reservation name, play date and receiving details ahead of time. Allow time for the shipment, so the clubs can be delivered for the golf part of the holiday.
The course delivery and return guide covers both directions. Shipping is separate from storage; the shipping estimates help you budget for each delivery and return.
Golf, sightseeing and side trips: common questions
Can I store golf clubs while sightseeing around Japan?
Yes. Send your golf bag to storage for the days you do not need it, then arrange delivery to the next hotel or golf venue with time for shipping.
Can I leave my clubs in Japan while I visit another country?
Yes. They can remain in storage in Japan while you travel elsewhere. Arrange the next delivery within Japan for when you return.
Can I send the clubs away for a gap between rounds?
Yes, when the gap allows time for shipping to storage and onward to the next venue. For rounds close together, keeping the bag with you or forwarding it directly may fit better.
Enjoy the days between rounds
