ianbc 0 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Where do I go in narita airport to get my luggage shipped so I don't have to carry it on the trains to hakuba? Also will it show up that night? And I land at 220 pm on the 16th of Jan... does that leave me enough time to take the shink route and still catch a bus to hakuba? I think it does but last time I took a different way and not sure why I did. thanks Link to post Share on other sites
dizzy 0 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 There's courier service (YAMATO KURO NEKO "BLACK CAT") right after you get out of customs. Look for green and yellow banners. Luggage usually arrives the next day. The airport shouldn't be so crowded at that time of the day...maybe an hour to get through fingerprinting immigration and customs... http://www.jorudan.co.jp/english/ plug "Narita-Airport" and "Hakuba" for shink "Narita-Airport" and "Nagano" for shink to Nagano. Then you've got a 60-minute bus to "Happo Bus Terminal" (1,500yen one way). For example, Skyliner No. 22 Departs Narita-Aiport 15:59, Arrives Keisei Ueno/Ueno 17:02 transfer to Asama No. 539 Departs Keisei Ueno/Ueno 17:30, Arrives Nagano 19:00 Said bus to Departs Nagano St. (near the East Exit, I think) 20:30, Arrives "Happo Bus Terminal" at 21:40.

Yuki's Passion 1 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 buses or trains will be fine ian if you takyubin your luggage give it at least one day to get to Hakuba. If you want it that night then carry it with you. Link to post Share on other sites

squampton 0 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Coming out of international arrivals, turn left in the terminal and go down to the very end, past the internet area, past the cell phone rental area. You'll find the 2 or 3 shipping companies there. For train schedules, try this website, I live by it! http://www.hyperdia.com/cgi-english/hyperWeb.cgi Link to post Share on other sites

tsondaboy 0 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 You can also pay an extra fee at the takyubin to get the staff delivered before 10 AM next morning. I did it 2 weeks ago for a small parcel, but I am sure you can do it for snow gear. It might be expensive though. Usual fees are 1250 yen for a snowboard bag from Tokyo to Hakuba, think maybe double if you ask for early morning delivery. Link to post Share on other sites
