Store Ski Gear in Japan Between Winter Trips
Reviewed by Max
Keep the winter kit in Japan for another season.
Your own boots, a familiar helmet, the layers that work: the bulky winter kit can stay in Japan after the holiday. Store skis or a snowboard too, then arrange delivery when you return.
You do not have to bring a full ski setup to use storage. Boots, helmets and winter clothing can stay here even if you plan to rent skis next time.
Send ordinary luggage from your hotel front desk or a convenience store; arrange skis and snowboards through your hotel or Yamato. Silk Crane stores the bags for delivery when you need them again. Monthly and annual storage plans are available; shipping is charged separately.
Your own boots, another Japan winter
Imagine returning for another Japan winter with a smaller suitcase. Your boots, helmet and winter clothes have stayed in storage since the previous season.
You arrange delivery for the resort stay, unpack the familiar kit and head out for the snow days. Renting skis locally still leaves you with the comfort of your own boots and layers.
At the end of the earlier winter visit, sign up and follow the supplied sending instructions. Ordinary luggage can go from your hotel front desk or a convenience store; arrange skis with the hotel or Yamato. Keep essentials for the flight and shipping, then request delivery ahead of the next resort stay.

Skis and snowboards between seasons
Keep your skis or snowboard in Japan for the next winter holiday. Choose the storage period around your plans and arrange delivery for the return visit.
Our monthly and annual winter gear guide helps you decide how long to keep the equipment here.
Winter clothing without the bulky flight bag
Jackets, ski trousers and other winter clothing can stay in storage too. Keep the things you use for the Japan snow days together, packed clean and dry.
That leaves more room in the luggage you take home and fewer winter pieces to bring back on the next visit.
Boots and helmets, even if you rent skis
You can store boots, helmets and clothing without storing skis or a snowboard. It is a useful way to keep your personal kit here while choosing rental equipment on the mountain.
Select the items and packages you need on the storage page. Some equipment may need to be packed separately.
Pack now, arrange the next delivery later
Start with the winter gear drying and packing guide, then use the sending instructions supplied after signup.
