This is convenient!

 From the viewpoint of the starting point of sightseeing in Chuo-ku, this time it is Chiyoda-ku as the extra edition of Chuo-ku, but Tokyo Station.

I gave you an article.

 

  Many people who visit Tokyo for sightseeing and commercial use Tokyo Station.
By the way, when you arrive at Tokyo Station, whether it is sightseeing or commercial, it is a big luggage that disturbs you.
Also, if you buy souvenirs on the way home, large luggage will be disturbed.

So, I think I'll look for a coin locker and leave my luggage ... but it's really difficult to find an empty locker that is almost in use while the coin locker is inside them.

If you send your luggage to the hotel in advance, you will be yoi, but you will be worried about the arrival due to traffic congestion, unseasonable weather, and the timing of sending is difficult, so you will bring it with your baggage.

One convenient way is to temporarily store your baggage at Sagawa Express near Nihonbashi Exit.

  The fee for temporary custody is 800 yen and 100 yen higher for 700 yen for large coin lockers, but this seems to be an agreement with a nearby coin locker company (violation of the Antimonopoly Law? ?)

  Therefore, if you have booked a hotel, it is advantageous to use the transfer service to the hotel.
It will be sent to all hotels in Tokyo (including business hotels) and Disney Resort hotels at regular rates.
You can walk to Nihonbashi or Ginza with one bag without returning to pick up your luggage.
The reception is open until 11:00 a.m., but if you know that the hotel is nearby or that your luggage will arrive a little late, it is possible to accept it even in the evening.
On the way back, you can send your luggage from the hotel and pick up your luggage here and get on the Shinkansen as it is.

  Compared to the main Yaesu-guchi exit, Nihonbashi-guchi is often used as a meeting place for groups, such as school excursions, because there is no taxi stand.
Because it is open and the passage is wide, if you are heading toward Nihonbashi, it is faster and more comfortable than passing through Sotobori-dori St. from Yaesu Exit. (especially in case of rain)

  Generally speaking, if you use a guidebook or online transfer guide, Otemachi Station is displayed as a transit station to transfer from Tokyo Station to the subway. However, if you arrive at Tokyo Station by Shinkansen or other means, it is much closer to Nihombashi Station (about 3 minutes from Nihonbashi Exit) to take the subway "Tozai Line" or "Ginza Line" and more than 10 minutes earlier than to go to Otemachi Station.

   By the way, the transit station from the Ginza Line to the Hanzomon Line is 'Mitsukoshi-mae', but it is faster to go out once at 'Nihonbashi-mae' and go to 'Mitsukoshi-mae' on the Hanzomon Line. Since the fee will be charged twice, I do not recommend it unless you use a one-day ticket etc. .
Especially if you want to transfer from the Tozai Line, you have to change to the Ginza Line once at Nihonbashi and change in front of Mitsukoshi again, so you will lose more than 20 minutes. (I want you to think somehow! Mr.

 
   Well, although it is such a convenient Tokyo Station "Nihonbashiguchi", recognition is still low, and even though this Sagawa Express store opened on March 10 for six months, the growth of customers seems to be one more thing.

The exterior and interior of the store are modeled on the popular "Gion Sagawa Express" (Service Center) in Gion, Kyoto, and the staff's uniform stands on a shirt with the letter "Fly" and stands out as happi coat.
English, Chinese, Korean, etc. are available for foreign tourists (may not be supported depending on the time of day and time)

You can also send it to Narita Airport or Haneda Airport, but if you receive it at the airport, you will be charged a handling fee because you use the JAL counter. (The reverse is the normal fee only)

 

  In addition, I think that if you can guide and reserve hotels at this store, and in that case, if the consignment fee becomes free or discounted, it will be more convenient and the number of users will increase....。
