Please provide both hotel names, your preferred pickup date and time, and your luggage details. We will confirm availability, delivery timing and the price before you book. Please also check that the receiving hotel can accept your luggage.
Same-day delivery does not mean same-day booking. Please submit your request at least 2 days before pickup. Your booking is confirmed only after payment is completed.

A. Our base fare is based on the delivery distance. Pricing is then determined by the amount of cargo space required, rather than the number of suitcases. As long as your luggage fits within the selected cargo space, there is no extra charge for additional shopping bags or souvenirs. In most cases, the handling charge for suitcase deliveries is between ¥2,750 and ¥3,300.
A. If the owner-driver is unavailable due to scheduling, a trusted Akabou member driver will be arranged. Although each driver is based in a different area, your transportation fee will not change depending on which driver is assigned. We do not charge any additional dispatch or repositioning fees based on the driver’s location.

It is important that there is enough space for the driver to handle the items safely and secure them properly for transport.
A. If you cancel your booking on the day of service after the driver has arrived at the pickup location, 100% of the service fee will be charged.
If your cancellation or schedule change is caused by circumstances beyond your control, such as flight delays, aircraft problems, or severe weather conditions, please inform us as soon as possible. We will make every effort to accommodate changes to your reservation whenever possible.
