    How to Arrange Luggage Delivery Service

    • Find a Delivery Service Counter, such as GPA Airport Delivery Service or YAMATO Delivery Company. For example, YAMATO Delivery Company is probably easier for you to identify. Just look out for an image of a black cat, literally KURO NEKO in Japanese. This is the image to look for:
    • Sort out and separate whatever you may need for the next few days, and put them into a small, easily manageable bag.
    • Write the address of your accommodation; the contact telephone number can be that of ICT Admissions Desk if you wish. You may want to opt to "receive your luggage at night".
    • Pay the delivery fee; the price varies depending on the courier service.
    • Send your large and heavy luggage (i.e. checked-in baggage) separately.
    • Receive your luggage at your destination (you will need to be there at the appointed time).
