Niseko Luggage Storage: Stations, Resorts and Shopping

Niseko, one stop at a time

1. Step 1 of 6

   Getting to Niseko

   Your Niseko stay starts at a station or a bus stop. The Kutchan Station guide and the Niseko Station guide cover lockers and onward transfers.

   The Hirafu Welcome Center guide covers the bus stop, nearby holding and the final resort connection.

   If cities come before the mountain, hand the ski or snowboard bag to an airport Yamato counter that accepts ski equipment on arrival at the airport. After you sign up, Silk Crane gives you the sending steps and delivers the gear to your mountain hotel for the ski days. From the station you go on to your resort base.

   

2. Step 2 of 6

   At your resort base

   Each resort base has its own arrival and luggage guide:

   • Hirafu
   • Hanazono
   • Niseko Village
   • Annupuri

   Silk Crane has no walk-in Niseko counter. For a bag you need again during your stay, those guides explain the lockers and holds nearby. Then comes the shopping.

3. Step 3 of 6

   Shopping and the spare suitcase

   The Niseko shopping guide covers outdoor clothing, gifts and the spare suitcase from Hirafu.

   A suitcase you will not need during the ski days can go from your hotel front desk or a 7-Eleven. Silk Crane keeps it in storage and delivers it to a later hotel in Japan. You send the ski bag on your last ski day.

   The last ski day: ski bag to the front desk

   The easiest place to send skis or a snowboard is your hotel front desk. After you sign up, Silk Crane gives you the address and the sending steps; there is no storage location to find.

   Follow the Yamato waybill guide when sending. Then the city is next.

   On to the city with smaller bags

   

   Picture several days in Tokyo after the mountain: shops and restaurants, and no long equipment bag beside you.

   For the flight home, Silk Crane can deliver the stored bags to your last hotel or to a Yamato pickup counter confirmed for your departure airport and terminal. Tell Silk Crane your departure airport and terminal, and Silk Crane confirms the counter. The hotel and airport delivery guide covers delivery. Between trips, the rest of your gear can stay in storage too.

   Between trips

   Silk Crane can keep the winter gear in Japan for next season, deliver golf clubs for a later trip, or keep a bicycle case out of your room while you ride. The bicycle shipping and measurement guide explains the sending arrangement.

   The storage plans page shows the current options.
