Leaving Japan - Shipping luggage to the airport.

A few people have asked me how to use the (takyubin) transport service available to ship your stuff to the airport.

Kuroneko Yamato Takyubin do a service from most 7/11's called Kukou Takyubin. You can get the slips to fill out there and then give them your luggage and the slips and they'll send it to the airport for you. You then pick it up from the Kuroneko takyubin centre near where you check in at the airport.

The full details in English including how to fill in the Japanese label, procedures etc are at this link:

Hope this is useful!
