Yamato Covers for Skis, Snowboards and Golf Bags in Japan
Reviewed by Max
Give your gear a cover for the journey.
A suitable cover protects your ski, snowboard or golf bag while it travels to Silk Crane. Storage, shipping and the cover are separate parts of the cost.
Arrange the sports-gear handover with your hotel or Yamato, then continue the trip with the bags you need.
Send ordinary luggage from your hotel front desk or a convenience store; arrange skis and snowboards through your hotel or Yamato. Monthly and annual storage plans are available.
The snowboard is packed. The next stop is yours.
Picture a final morning at a mountain hotel. Your snowboard is dry, packed and covered, ready for the journey to storage.
With the bulky bag sent on, the next train ride can be about the view. Arrange delivery again when the next part of the trip calls for your gear.
Sign up before leaving the mountain hotel and follow the supplied sending instructions for your snowboard. Keep the clothes and essentials needed during shipping. Ordinary luggage can go from a hotel front desk or a convenience store; arrange the board’s handover with the hotel or Yamato.
Before your gear leaves
Match the cover to the bag
Use suitable protection for skis and snowboards or golf clubs. A cover surrounds the packed equipment; it does not replace careful packing.
Keep cover and storage costs separate
A carrier cover is a shipping material, so it is not included in the base storage price. Check the current price and available size when arranging the shipment.
Arrange the handover before checkout
Sports gear uses its own carrier service and sending arrangements. Ask your hotel or Yamato about the cover and collection, rather than treating a ski bag like an ordinary suitcase at a convenience store.
Budget the journey as well as the stay
Allow for shipping to storage and the later delivery. Our shipping estimates help you plan those movements, then you can choose the storage term that fits the gap.
Sports-gear cover questions
Is a Yamato cover included with storage?
No. A shipping cover is separate from the Silk Crane storage plan.
Can I use the same cover for every type of gear?
Choose suitable protection for the packed item and carrier service. A golf bag and a snowboard have different shapes and packing needs.
Where should I send sports gear from?
Arrange the handover through your hotel or Yamato and follow the instructions for the ski, snowboard or golf service.
Put the bulky bag on its way
Prepare the cover, send the gear and enjoy the next part of Japan. See sports-gear storage plans
