Sending Bags to and from Nozawa
The baggage transfer service, called Ta-Q-Bin, is a remarkable option—especially for travelers. It offers speed, low cost, and exceptional efficiency.
There are several companies that offer this service, but the largest and most well-known is Yamato Transport, commonly referred to as “Kuro Neko”—which means black cat in Japanese. It’s easily recognizable by its iconic yellow logo featuring two black cats. Black Cat Courier Japan
Skip dragging bags through Tokyo—send them from Narita or Haneda airport to Nozawa as little as 2,500 yen.
Airport cut-off to send bags is around 6 PM, with long queues common before then. If you make the cut-off, your baggage usually arrives in Nozawa the next day—often in the afternoon, but exact times aren’t guaranteed. Delays can happen due to airport conditions or weather.
If you’re staying in Tokyo or other cities, you can use this service through your hotel concierge or even at major convenience stores like Lawson and 7-Eleven.
Sending back to the airport? Drop off in Nozawa by 2 PM, at least 48–72 hours before your flight. All paperwork and payment must be done by then or it ships the next day. You can send bags from any of the four Nozawa Holidays offices in Nozawa Onsen:
• Villa Nozawa
• Lodge Nagano
• Nozawa Central
• Kaiya Nozawa
