Narita Arrivals Luggage

If you have good bags with wheels and you are not travelling in peak hours, taking your bags on the train into Tokyo city is ok, but a bit of a challenge.

Lugging even a moderately sized suitcase through the subways and up and down stairs can be a nightmare. So, what can you do? Use the ubiquitous delivery services (takkyuubin) which give cheap, dependable, fast service to anywhere.

How does it work? At any airport or major station, look for a sign that says "Baggage Delivery" or something similar. The most common company is called Kuroneko. Their black-on-yellow logo of a mother cat carrying a baby cat is easy to spot anywhere. Write your hotel address, pay a small fee based on size and distance, and simply collect your bag the next day at your hotel.

This works the same way on departure. Most hotels and even many convenience stores will take care of this for you. The service is extremely dependable. You can send almost any shape or size of bags (even a bicycle) to the airport ahead of time. They are never late and always in good condition. Just pick up your stuff in the airport lobby. It sure makes getting to the airport a breeze. It even makes intercity travel easy if you have a lot of stuff.

Narita Arrivals Currency Exchange

There are now several ATM at Narita Airport that accept ATM cards from foreign (non-Japanese) banks. Withdrawing cash in Yen from these ATM is normally the most convenient and cost effective way to exchange money in Japan. While there are money exchange providers at Narita Airport, they are not at all common in the rest of Japan.

Location of Narita Airport ATM

  • CitiBank - South Wing 4th Floor (Departures)
  • CitiBank - Central Building 1st Floor (Arrivals)
  • CitiBank - North Wing 1st Floor (Arrivals)
  • Seven Bank - Central Building 1st Floor (Arrivals)

Exchanging Money In Japan

Most banks in Japan can exchange only US dollars to Yen and back again. A few banks in central Tokyo could exchange Australian dollars to Yen, but the process is very slow and the fees are very high. Unfortunately almost none of the Japanese banks ATM will accept ATM cards issued by foreign banks. There is one major exception to this rule, Seven Bank. Seven Bank is part of the Seven Eleven chain of convenience stores, which seem to be on every corner in the major cities in Japan. Every Seven Eleven store has at least one ATM in it and they all accept ATM cards issued by foreign banks.
