Leave your luggage at the front desk by 8:00 AM on the morning of departure, then set off with nothing but your daypack.
Our team collects your luggage and delivers it safely to your next accommodation while you walk the trail.
Your luggage will be waiting when you arrive. Settle in, rest well, and get ready for tomorrow's trail.
You can calculate multiple transfers at once.
Select the departure and arrival areas, then choose how many pieces of luggage you need transported.
Storage fees (¥1,000 per piece, per day) are not included in the estimate above and will be added separately if applicable.
* 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.
* Bookings are accepted up to the day before pickup, but availability is not guaranteed. We recommend booking as early as possible.
We work with over 150 guesthouses, ryokan, and hotels along the Kumano Kodo Nakahechi, ensuring smooth handoffs at every stop.
All bookings are handled in English. For inquiries in other languages, please contact us and we will do our best to assist you.
Once your transfer is confirmed, we send you a secure invoice link. Pay by credit card in advance — no need to carry cash on the day.

He kept us informed with clear timing and sent updates every day once our bags were delivered. It was such a relief to have our luggage waiting for us at every stop. Truly reliable!"
Read more ↓"Excellent service! We booked luggage transfers from hakobu:ne for our 5 day Kumano Kodo trip. They picked up and delivered our 3 luggages through Kii-Tanabe, Nonaka, Hongu, Koguchi and finally Kii-Katsuura. This was especially impressive given that our luggages were picked up and delivered to the next lodging before the afternoon while 2 simultaneous typhoons were causing heavy rains in the area. They were also very responsive, giving email updates of when our luggages had arrived to our next destination. I would easily recommend hakobu:ne for Kumano Kodo luggage transfers!!"
