Estimate Your Transfer Cost

Nakahechi Route Map

You can calculate multiple transfers at once.
Select the departure and arrival areas, then choose how many pieces of luggage you need transported.

* All prices include tax.
* Our service operates on same-day transfers as standard (check-out from Inn A = check-in to Inn B). If you would like to request a SKIP TRANSFERA skip transfer means your luggage is sent directly from Inn A to Inn C, bypassing Inn B entirely., please confirm in advance with the destination inn that they are able to hold luggage from the previous day, and let us know. If the inn is unable to hold your luggage, we offer a luggage storage service for an additional fee of ¥1,000 per piece per day.
