Returning to Japan? Leave Your Luggage Here Between Trips
Come back to Japan with a smaller bag. Silk Crane stores the suitcase, winter clothes or sports gear you want to use here again, with monthly and annual plans and delivery to the hotel you choose for your return.
Send the spare suitcase from your hotel front desk or a convenience store using your Silk Crane instructions. Shipping is charged separately.
Explore monthly and annual storage
Your next visit starts with less to carry
Imagine finishing a spring trip with a suitcase of clothes and belongings you would happily use in Japan again. Instead of taking it home and bringing it back, send it from your hotel to Silk Crane. For your autumn return, arrange delivery to your next hotel. You arrive with a smaller travel bag and settle into the holiday with your familiar things close at hand.
Before leaving in spring, sign up and use the supplied address and suite instructions. A convenience store can take the suitcase shipment if you are already out after checkout. Keep the belongings needed for your flight and the days during shipping with you.
Storage without the locker detour
You do not need to search for a storage location, travel across town to leave the suitcase, or return there to collect it. Sending to Silk Crane is as close as your hotel front desk or a convenience store. When you want the bag again, we ship it to the destination you arrange.
Between visits
Keep the belongings you want for another Japan trip here. Annual storage suits a returning travel routine; monthly storage covers a shorter interval.
During a longer holiday
Send the large suitcase out of the sightseeing part of your journey. Keep a smaller bag for trains, restaurants and the next few nights.
Choose what stays in Japan
Suitcases, ski and snowboard gear, golf equipment and bicycle cases can all have a place in the plan. Book the items you want to store on the main storage page, where you can compare monthly and annual options. Shipping is charged separately.
For a returning winter, the ski and snowboard storage guide helps you picture the next season. For a suitcase, start with what to keep with you while your luggage is stored.

Receive it where the next part of the trip begins
Arrange delivery to your next hotel, your last hotel before flying home, or an airport baggage counter. You can choose a different destination from the one where you sent the bag. Our hotel and airport delivery guide explains how to plan that next handoff.
