Leisure Travel
Japan is a tale of two halves. Diverse cities offer up slick cocktail bars in glass clad buildings and regional street food stalls. There are huge shopping districts but plenty of natural sights too. From cherry blossom trees in impeccably manicured parks to the Tottori sand dunes and Nachi Falls – leisure travellers are spoilt for choice.
If you’re going to Iceland for leisure travel, don’t mess around with airport queues and excess baggage fees. Send your items with us and we’ll have it waiting at your hotel, ready for your arrival.
You will need provide a copy of your passport and fill out 3 Baggage declaration (5360) forms; 1 to go with shipment and 2 to be presented in person to customs when arriving in Japan. You may also be required to provide your entry stamp confirming entry into Japan.

Business Travel
Japan is a world leader when it comes to technological advancements. There’s a world-class public transport system with the Shinkansen (bullet train) connecting huge areas of the country. The high tech opportunities are huge in Japan, as are the finance and tourism sectors. English language teachers are usually in demand too.

Packing Considerations
Follow our guide and recommendations on how to pack your items for safe shipping
Luggage
Pack your belongings in a hard or soft suitcase, but please make sure all the straps are tucked in, taped down, or taken off. For this reason, we do not accept rucksacks and holdalls. It is better to opt for a sturdy suitcase, rather than lightweight, and we do not recommend shipping designer luggage.
Place your labels in a plastic sleeve and attach it securely to the suitcases with cable ties. This will prevent the labels falling off and the bags being lost. Do not lock your suitcase when closing it, as customs and/or the courier may need to verify the contents of your items.
Boxes
We recommend shipping in a double walled box or higher. Within the boxes, we recommend packaging up individual fragile items with some form of cushioning, like bubble wrap. Ideally, spread your heavy items out between boxes rather than packing a whole box of heavy items. Include a spare copy of your label in the box for verification purposes.
