Autumn is one of the busiest seasons in Kyoto. As a luggage delivery team, we see many travelers spend their arrival or checkout day pulling a suitcase through crowds. Here are four experiences we often recommend, plus a tip on how to enjoy each one hands-free.
1. Hozugawa River Boat Ride (Arashiyama)
A traditional boat ride of about two hours through the Hozu River gorge, ending in Arashiyama. From late October to November the valley turns red and gold, and it is one of the best ways to see Kyoto's autumn leaves.
Hands-free tip: there is no space for big luggage on the boat. Send your suitcase to your hotel with us in the morning and head to Arashiyama with just a small bag.
2. teamLab Biovortex Kyoto
A large digital art museum near Kyoto Station. Because it is so close to the station, it fits well into an arrival day or a departure day when you have a few hours before your train.
Hands-free tip: hand your bags to us at Kyoto Station, enjoy the museum, and find your suitcase waiting at your hotel.
3. Kimono Rental
Walking around Higashiyama or Gion in a kimono is a favorite Kyoto memory for many visitors. Rental shops help you get dressed, and some plans include hair styling.
Hands-free tip: a kimono and a suitcase do not go well together. Let us deliver your luggage so your hands are free for photos.
4. Kyoto One-Day Tour (Arashiyama, Nijo Castle and more)
Short on time? A guided day tour lets you see several famous spots, including Arashiyama and Nijo Castle, without planning trains and buses yourself.
Hands-free tip: check out in the morning, hand your bags to us, and join the tour. Your luggage will be at your next hotel when you arrive.
Plan your luggage first
In autumn, coin lockers at Kyoto Station often fill up by late morning. If you know where you are going, decide how your luggage will get there first, and the rest of the day is yours. KOMATSU offers same-day luggage delivery in Kyoto city. Book your luggage delivery here.
