Tokyo with family
& luggage
Travelling with children or older relatives? Combine airport transfers, trains and occasional private rides around your family's pace, hotel and luggage.
01 Arriving in Tokyo: luggage and connections first
For journeys from Narita Airport (NRT) or Haneda Airport (HND) to your Tokyo hotel, check the nearest station, number of connections, elevator exits and the walk from the station to your accommodation.
| Your situation | Consider |
|---|---|
| Light luggage; hotel near a direct connection | Airport trains or buses |
| Children or older relatives; less luggage handling preferred | A private airport-to-hotel transfer |
| A larger group, stroller or bulky bags | Confirm vehicle and luggage capacity first |
Compare the total cost for your group alongside connections and walking. A private vehicle is not necessarily faster or cheaper than rail.

02 Match each sightseeing day to your plans
Nearby neighbourhoods: trains and walking
Plan around one or two nearby areas, such as Asakusa and Tokyo Skytree, and compare train and walking routes. With a stroller, check elevator exits in advance and avoid commuter peaks where possible.
Changing hotels: one direct ride
Moving between two Tokyo hotels does not necessarily require a full-day charter. A point-to-point transfer can take your group and luggage directly to the next accommodation.

A private charter may suit several distant stops or companions who find repeated stairs and connections tiring. Allow time for traffic, meals and rest rather than packing the day with sights.
Tokyo hotel → a walk in Asakusa → lunch and a rest → Tokyo Tower → return to your hotel. This is a planning example. Stops, route and required hours depend on the booked plan and traffic.

Include suitcases, strollers and other bulky items when choosing a vehicle—not just the number of seats. These Pick-U vehicle examples are subject to the product and confirmed arrangements.
Toyota Alphard
Up to 5 passengers
Recommended: 4 passengers + 4 medium/large suitcases
Toyota Hiace
Up to 9 passengers
Up to 9 checked suitcases
Capacity depends on bag dimensions and safe loading. Before booking, provide the number and dimensions of strollers, wheelchairs or oversized luggage so our team can confirm the vehicle. Please also check availability of any required booster seats or other equipment.
Questions you may have
Do we need a private charter every day with children?
No. Trains and walking may work well when your hotel is near a station and the day's sights are close together. Compare private transfers or charters for luggage-heavy days, hotel changes or several spread-out stops.
Which vehicle suits four people and four large suitcases?
The Toyota Alphard recommendation is four passengers with four medium/large suitcases. If you also have a stroller, oversized bags or other items, share their dimensions so support can confirm whether a Hiace is more suitable.
How is an airport transfer different from a private charter?
An airport transfer mainly connects a specified airport and destination. A charter covers multiple stops within the booked hours and service area. Waiting, stops and pricing conditions differ; check the product details before booking.
