What is your favorite hack for traveling with luggage in Japan?
We made mistake of buying used luggage at goodwill for trip, by the time we got to Kyoto two of our bags broke and we ended up buying new luggage at the giant electronics store
Which company do you use for private transfers? Looking for a company collect from Haneda Airport and go to Asakusa
Thank you for sharing ππ great video
What about stroller in shinkansen train? Where do I put it? Thank you!
We're a week out from our departure for Japan. π Thanks for another useful video.
If your luggage fits in front of you on the Shinkansen do you still need to buy a reserved seat?
thank you! will be riding my first shinkansen and this is helpful to know what to do with my checked luggage,
Fantastic video! Out of all of our trips to Japan, we never used Takkyubin to forward our luggage. Weβre going to try it out next week while weβre thereπ Also, youβre so lucky you get to visit and stay in Japan for 1-3 months!!
