If you bring a big luggage to be transported, the luggage courier service is available all over Japan.For instance you can deliver your luggage from the Airport to the Hotel.

Hiking Packing list: Great books to prepare for your trip. Arthur Golden’s Memoirs of a Geisha, Cathy Davidson’s 36 Views of Mt. Fuji, and the Culture Shock series.
