Luggage magically follows us

Cannot fault this service. We just left our bags with a label on at the previous accomodation and they appeared as if by magic at the next accomodation before we arrived. Very helpful.

Timely and thoughtful

Our luggage was at our destination before we arrived. No problems. We are very thankful and appreciative of Akatsuki Luggage shuttle. They were very helpful the first day with the train delay and we love the beautiful luggage tags they used. Make a very nice souvenir.

Efficient, helpful, thoughtful

I booked Akatsuki for all four of our luggage transfers. On the very first day, we missed the luggage transfer hand off time because our trains were delayed. I spent much time worrying about how we would manage. When we got off the train, Tanaka San was waiting at the gate with sign to pick up the luggage. She must have been waiting over an hour as that's how late our train was. We are so thankful for the thoughtfulness in accommodating the delay and ensuring we did not have to lug our own luggage.
