②Send back the empty box for traveling Japan with your own bike.

I have hit upon an idea of the new service for foreign cyclists who visit Japan with their bicycles.
There are many unknown or invisible walls to move around to cycle by their own bikes also using trains, ship and local airplane in Japan, I feel as the same point of foreigners view.
So I have decided to launch the storage & logistics service for the foreign cyclists who travel around Japan by trains, ships , local airplanes with their bicycles & Case or Box in Japan at first.
I want to design the service which can support them to travel multiple regions at onetime trip by handling their bikes, equipments and goods to store during their trip even dismounted and deliver to their convenient place at their scheduled timing.
This service will not open to everybody (limited capacity matter) but the registered members at first as to create the good service one by one to be useful for them.
I have came here in Japan with my bike to ensure my idea this time. And also I have arranged the professional logistics company to make the service here.
I will recruit the first members who love visit Japan to cycle around multiple regions to run the prototype service at first in April on the web site below.

I ,as Japanese living outside Japan, hope more foreign cyclists love “Rolling Japan.”

This year, I took my bicycle on two bicycle trips from Singapore to Japan in February and March. The first time, I packed a soft bag with protective padding and took it with me checked in airplane baggage. The second time, I put it in a special cardboard box and took it with me checked in airplane baggage. What is the difference? The first time, I could not use a courier service in Japan. This is because courier services are not accepted in soft bags. For transportation within Japan, I folded my bicycle and packed it in a soft bag and carried it. Major terminals such as Tokyo and Osaka stations were very crowded, and changing trains was difficult, and the weight of the bicycle (about 15 kg) carried on my shoulder made me very tired. The second time, I also packed the bike in a cardboard box in Japan and sent it by courier to the station in the regional city where I would start cycling. Even at large terminal stations such as Tokyo Station and Osaka Station, I was able to travel without carrying the bicycle. For the sections where I would ride the bike, I carried it on my own and in a soft bag. This was very easy; a big difference from the first time. On the last day of cycling, I had an empty cardboard box sent to my hotel from a membership storage warehouse, and I packed my bicycle in the box and sent it to the airport two days before departure. I was able to transfer easily at the crowded Shinkansen terminal station. I picked up my bicycle in a cardboard box at the airport and checked it in as checked baggage for my return flight. I highly recommend that you try to do this method when you travel to Japan by bicycle. It makes inter-regional travel within Japan easier and broadens your range of activities. The key is to bring your bicycle to Japan in a cardboard box (Up to W + H + L = 200cm/30kg *Up to 23kg for airplanes) that meets the handling regulations of Japanese carriers. This way, you will not have to carry your bicycle through crowded terminal stations, trains, and airports when traveling in Japan.
