Foreigners are Impressed! Why Japan's Travel & Transportation Services Are Amazing
Introducing Japanese transportation and travel services that amaze travelers and foreign residents. We'll explain the secrets behind comfortable travel in Japan, including luggage delivery, punctual trains, and friendly taxi drivers.
Japanese luggage services that make travel more comfortable
Lugging heavy suitcases can be a major stressor when traveling. However, in Japan, there are delivery services that will deliver your luggage from the airport to your hotel and from your hotel to your next accommodation.
These services are popular not only with tourists but also with foreign residents in Japan. Many people use them when traveling on business or returning home.Yamato Transport's Airport Delivery Service and Sagawa Express's hotel delivery service are particularly fast and accurate.
Your luggage will usually arrive the next day after you check it in, and the price is surprisingly reasonable (around 2,000 yen). Japan's convenience, allowing you to travel hands-free, is among the best in the world.
The "Safety" and "Professionalism" of Taxis
Japanese taxis are one of those services that make you feel "safe" the moment you step inside. Doors open and close automatically, and the driver always greets you politely.
Even if they don't speak English, many foreigners are impressed by their attentive service, using maps and translation apps to guide them. Drivers also sometimes offer information on tourist spots and delicious restaurants.
They're like a "mobile guidebook." The taxi culture, allowing for safe travel even late at night, is an important part of the infrastructure that supports life in Japan.
The "Punctuality of Trains" that Astonishes the World
Japanese trains are known worldwide for their minute-by-minute punctuality. While "on-time arrivals" may seem like a given, it's rare overseas. Particularly in the Tokyo metropolitan area, train schedules are meticulously managed to avoid disruption even during rush hour.
Even in the unlikely event of a delay, the station will immediately issue a "delay certificate" that can be submitted to work or school. The safe and punctual railway culture symbolizes the reliability of Japanese society itself.
A "miraculous system" for the return of lost items
Living in Japan, you often hear stories of lost wallets and cards being almost guaranteed to be returned. This is no coincidence; it's thanks to the nationwide "Lost & Found" system.
For example, JR East allows you to instantly search for lost items using a dedicated app or chat system. Even items like IC cards, wallets, and passports are often found within a few hours, and the service is very courteous.
While some other countries say the "recovery rate is less than 10%," in Japan, the reality is that lost items are often found. This service is a testament to Japan's culture of trust and honesty.
Japanese transportation services offer convenience, peace of mind, and punctuality, both in travel and daily life.What may seem like a simple system at first glance is embodied in a caring attitude and pride.
Injavi will continue to provide "real, convenient information that foreigners living in Japan should know." Make good use of Japanese services to make your daily lives more comfortable!
