🕊🛄 行李先行,旅遊輕快 Using “Hands-Free Travel” service to enjoy your travel in Japan

跟心愛伴侶或家人旅遊,快樂,來自旅途細節累積。

Happiness accumulated from all the details on the road to travel with your love or family.

在各種鐵道周遊券大行其道時代,到日本旅行,交通費大幅降低,思考如何運用這些以日計算、區間無限次搭乘的鐵道周遊券,到訪更多景點,玩得更盡興,首要之務,是減輕負擔。

In the era of many kinds of tourist railroad Pass, the transportation costs in Japan was significantly reduced. Top priority to travel by Japanese railway is to reduce the baggage burden. Then you can use all kinds of tourist railroad Pass to visit more attractions and have more fun.

我了解有人愛拖著華麗行李箱的感覺,但講白了:若能只帶證件、錢包、手機、相機等隨身物品,隨時像在家附近社區一樣輕鬆移動自如,旅遊樂趣,便全面升級。

I understand that someone loves the feeling of dragging a gorgeous suitcase, but it’s simple: If you can only carry personal belongings such as wallets, mobile phones, cameras, etc., you can easily move freely to enjoy your full upgraded tour.

以箱根旅遊為例,小田急鐵路的國寶級登山鐵道列車,起點在小田原,若想在到箱根溫泉區前,體驗復古可愛的小火車列車,帶著大件行李登上多數時間被觀光客塞滿的車廂,絕對不是好主意。

Taking Hakone Tourism as an example, the Odakyu Railway’s Hakone TOZAN Railway starts from Odawara station.

If you want to experience the retro train before heading to the Hakone Onsen area, you will be crammed with tourists for most of the time. Carrying big baggage is definitely not a good idea.

最好解決辦法,就是到小田原車站B1,找到黑貓宅急便親切可愛正妹,花十分鐘把大件行李先寄到旅館。

The best solution is to go to Odawara Station B1 and find the service counter of Yamato Transport Co., Ltd.

It takes only ten minutes to send the big baggage to the hotel.

然後,就可以從小田原車站一路搭登山鐵道、換登山纜車、換搭遊湖海盜船,手上都沒有行李負擔。

Then, you can ride all the way from Odawara Station Hakone to take TOZAN Railway train, cable car, and pirate ship without luggage burden.

這個全日本各地都有的「鬆開手旅行」服務,不但能當日把行李送到你即將入住的旅館,回程時,也能請你的旅館櫃台協助,先行寄送到有對應服務櫃台的車站。

This “Hands-Free Travel” service is available throughout Japan and will not only be able to send your baggage to your upcoming hotel on the same day but will also be able to assist your hotel counter on the return trip and send it to the station with the corresponding service counter.

寄送行李價格,依行李大小收費,而非重量,所以可把所有在當日遊玩用不到的重物,都隨行李送走。

Sending baggage price is based on the size of the baggage, not the weight, so all the heavy objects that are not used on the day can be sent with the baggage.

日本車站有行李置物箱,但依大小要收400到1600日圓的車站行李置物箱,只有寄放功能,無論你怎麼移動,最終還是要回寄放行李處領行李,限制了當日旅遊移動範圍跟時間。

There are luggage compartments at the Japanese station, but the station’s luggage compartments, which are priced between 400 and 1600 yen depending on the size, have only the storage function. No matter how you move, you will eventually need to return to the baggage office to pick up the luggage. This limits the travel time and time of the day.

收費並不比車站置物箱貴的「鬆開手旅行」服務,完全改變旅行風貌,用這種服務把辛苦拉行李的國外旅遊,變成帶小包的輕鬆散步。

“Hands-Free Travel” service, which is not more expensive than the station’s storage compartment, completely changes the style of travel. With this service, it is possible to take a leisurely walk with a small bag.

運用得當,在早去晚回行程間,能各增加半天輕鬆行程,到訪更多景點,玩得更輕鬆自在。

Used properly, during the early to late return trip, each can easily increase the half-day trip, visiting more attractions, have more fun.

行李先行,旅遊更開心,對情侶夫妻如此,對帶著長輩小孩一起移動的旅客更是如此。

This is great for couples and travelers who move with their elders or children.
