What Is a Hands-Free Travel Counter?
A "Hands-Free Travel Counter" is a service point where you can store or ship suitcases and souvenirs — a location that has met certain criteria and been certified by Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism.
STEP
01
Drop Off Your Luggage at the Counter
Head to a counter at a station or airport, and drop off your heavy suitcase or growing pile of souvenirs on the spot.
STEP
02
Sightsee Freely, Hands-Free
Once you are traveling light, head straight out to see the sights! Crowds, stairs, and getting around by public transportation all become stress-free.
STEP
03
Pick Up at the Counter or Delivery Destination
After enjoying your sightseeing, collect your luggage at the original counter, or receive it at your accommodation or delivery destination.
