The same-day service costs 4,500 yen (US$29) per suitcase and is available from terminal three at Haneda Airport.

JAL said the initiative will help “address social issues such as congestion in public transport and the shortage of storage lockers,” as well as making life easier for tourists.

The “Baggage-Free” service, which is also available for Japanese residents, covers 14 districts in Tokyo, including Shinjuku.

Millions of visitors have been flocking to Japan to take advantage of the weak yen.

The Japanese government expects to surpass its target of 32 million visitors this year following a very busy summer, with a record 3.2 million tourists in July, about 66 per cent more than the same month in 2023.
