You can now ship luggage from stations and airports back to your home country while traveling in Japan.
A significant issue for travelers in Japan has been the limited availability of free Wi-Fi. Recently, however, the problem of not being able to connect has greatly improved, as eSIMs for Japan can now be purchased anytime, anywhere.

Difficulty Moving with Lots of Luggage During Travel
Another common issue for travelers, especially those who shop a lot in Japan, is the inconvenience of carrying their purchases around while moving between locations. Many shoppers find that their original suitcases aren’t big enough for all their new items, leading them to buy additional bags or even more suitcases to accommodate their purchases. When you have a lot of luggage, getting around becomes a real hassle.
Shipping Luggage and Souvenirs from Stations and Airports to Your Home Country
Sagawa Express, in collaboration with SF Express and eBackHome, offers a service that allows international visitors to ship their luggage, souvenirs, and other items directly overseas. This service is available at Sagawa Express counter locations in popular tourist areas, major train stations, and airports.
This service combines Sagawa Express’s domestic transportation network, SF Express’s international shipping network (primarily focused on Asia), and eBackHome’s baggage handling system for travelers.
The service package also includes support for necessary documents like export invoices and international waybills, confirmation of prohibited items, and suitable packaging for international shipping. Additionally, domestic shipping packaging materials are available for purchase directly at the courier counters.
Starting August 1, 2025, South Korea and the United States will be added to the list of eligible shipping destinations. This means you’ll be able to ship items from within Japan to six regions: China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau, South Korea, and the United States.
To enhance convenience for the increasing number of international visitors, this service supports multiple languages and a variety of payment methods. Therefore, even if your luggage increases during your trip or you buy souvenirs that are difficult to carry, you can smoothly ship them overseas from convenient locations along your travel route.
I am Japanese and my nickname is Momo.
I have been working in the mobile telecommunications industry for about 7 years and am familiar with Japanese telecommunications services. Although my English is not very good, I would like to provide useful telecommunication-related information to those who stay in Japan as accurately as possible.
