Yamato Luggage Size and Weight Limits for Japan Storage
Reviewed by Max
Measure the packed bag, then choose the handover.
For ordinary TA-Q-BIN, Yamato currently lists a maximum of 200 cm for length + width + height and 30 kg. Smaller size categories have lower weight limits. See Yamato’s current size chart for the complete rules.
These are transport limits. Share unusual bags with Silk Crane before sending so the storage and shipping arrangements fit together.
Send the spare suitcase from your hotel front desk or a convenience store using your Silk Crane instructions. Monthly and annual storage plans are available; shipping is charged separately.
Measure once before leaving the hotel
Imagine preparing a spare suitcase to send from the hotel before a rail trip. You measure it fully packed and check its weight.
With the sending point arranged for that package, you can hand it over and leave with the smaller bag for the next stops.
Sign up and use your supplied address and suite instructions after measuring. For the ordinary suitcase, choose a hotel front desk or a convenience store; discuss a larger package’s handover first. Keep essentials during shipping and arrange delivery to the later hotel before you need the case.
Check the finished package
Add the three outside dimensions
Measure length, width and height including packing and anything attached. Check weight too: the larger size or weight category determines the shipping band. The ordinary maximum for one side is 170 cm, with a lower limit for packages that must stay upright.
Close and label the bag
Secure the suitcase or box and leave the label readable. Use your assigned storage address and suite details with the Yamato waybill instructions.
Choose the sending point for its size
Convenience-store limits can be narrower than Yamato-office limits. For a larger bag, ask about a sales office or arranged pickup. Sports gear has its own service rules.
Discuss unusual cases first
For a cycling trip, use the bicycle-case storage guide. A case over 200 cm cannot use this ordinary route. Budget the actual shipment with the shipping estimates.
Luggage measurement questions
What is the ordinary TA-Q-BIN maximum?
The current maximum is 200 cm in combined length, width and height and 30 kg, with additional side-length, packing and sending-point rules.
Can every convenience store take the largest size?
No. A convenience store may have a narrower acceptance range; use a Yamato office or arrange pickup when needed.
Do these limits define what Silk Crane can store?
They define the carrier journey. Discuss unusual items separately before relying on a storage and transport plan.
