What does a year of storage really cost?

Start with the storage plan, then add the journeys your bags will make. Every amount below is in Japanese yen.

Illustration of the service process

Storage and transport are separate

The plan covers 12 months from your first bag’s check-in, with unlimited warehouse check-ins and releases during that period. Collection, hotel delivery and return transport are charged each time. There is no automatic renewal.

Count every transport leg

Leaving a bag after one trip, receiving it on the next trip and returning it afterwards makes three one-way journeys. If the hotels are in different regions, use the rate for each individual journey.

A planning example, not a checkout quote

The examples assume standard bags up to 28 kg, all journeys within the Nagano / Niigata / Kanto zone and no referral discount. Extra journeys or separately quoted services increase the total. Your card issuer may charge currency conversion or international transaction fees.
