Japan Airlines has extended its same-day baggage delivery service to Kansai and Narita airports, following a successful introduction at Haneda. The service allows international visitors to drop off their luggage at designated airport counters and have it delivered to their hotel the same day. This expansion is part of efforts to simplify arrival logistics for foreign tourists and reduce the strain on Japan’s already crowded public transportation networks.

Available at Kansai Terminal 1 and Narita Terminal 2, the service operates from morning to early evening and ensures delivery by 10:00 p.m. to selected areas, including Osaka, Kyoto, central Tokyo, and nearby Chiba. There is no need to present travel documents or fly with Japan Airlines to use the service. Each suitcase must meet size and weight restrictions, and the flat fee is set at JPY4,500 per item, tax included.

This program significantly reduces the hassle of navigating unfamiliar cities with heavy bags in tow. Upon arrival, visitors can leave their luggage at the JAL ABC counter and begin exploring immediately, avoiding the need for lockers or hotel detours. Whether arriving for leisure or business, travelers gain several extra hours of freedom and comfort before checking into their accommodation.

The expanded service also supports smoother urban mobility for tourists unfamiliar with local transportation systems. By eliminating the need to transport large bags on crowded trains or buses, the service enhances access to city centers and reduces congestion. Tourists can more easily explore landmarks, visit restaurants, or attend events without waiting for hotel check-in or securing short-term storage.

This initiative reflects Japan’s growing emphasis on traveler-oriented services. For international visitors, it means a more relaxed and efficient start to their trip. By removing one of the biggest early stress points—managing luggage—Japan Airlines contributes to a seamless travel experience, signaling that the country is not just open to tourists, but fully prepared to welcome them with practical, forward-thinking solutions.
