Bicycle delivery options in Tokyo and japan
There are several ways to manage bike and gear transportation in Japan. Depending the situation and request of our customers, we choose the best option to meet your budget and convenience.
Truck Delivery: We make special arrangements through a logistics company to transport the bicycle to other Japan locations. The bike is conveniently packed into a cardboard transport box. Upon finishing your ride, you place the bike back into the box and the logistics company picks up the bike and returns to our depot.
- Service Area: Almost all of Japan including some smaller islands
- Premises: Hotels or Ryokans ONLY that have full time reception.
- Timing: We need to make arrangements at least 14days in advance. Drop off will be scheduled to arrive 1 or 2 days before you. Pick-up is schedule after your departure.
- Price: Depends on the region of service. But basically ONLY conventional (non e-bike) can be box delivered. Otherwise will need to be private van courier.
