Hallo, i am gonna visit one of the small islands mid November toward the end of my trip and will be travelling light with a backpack only til then. I was planning to just pick up souvenirs and chuck em in a bag or something until my trip is almost done and just buy a cheap case toward the end to get everything home with me.
The plane for the Island is a smaller one with like 48 seats or something and limited baggage.

Now i am wondering if i can send my gathered up souvenirs in a case ahead to Tokyo before that island part. Let it stay on hold there for 4 days and pick it all up after i get to Tokyo via plane from that small island?

Is that at all possible?
Thanks in advance.

I think this FAQ answers your question. If you use the luggage delivery service, you can specify the delivery date within 7 days of the date the transport company accepted your luggage for shipment.

For how many days can I have my luggage/parcel stored using luggage...

「Q:For how many days can I have my luggage/parcel stored using luggage storage services provided by Yamato Transport?」

4 days is well within.

Sagawa has multi-day storage services unlike Yamato. From their FAQ

Choice depends on your itinerary.

If you choose to travel to a small island for 4 days, arrange with the concierge of the last hotel you're staying at to forward your luggage to the Tokyo hotel you're staying at when you return from the island trip. If straight to the airport to fly out, choose the airport you'll be flying out from (Haneda or Narita) as your collection point.

However, if you just want a storage service for a few days, Sagawa appears to be the one to go to. There are other companies providing storage but Sagawa (the 2nd largest transport service after Yamato) should be a more convenient choice since they have a good number of service counters that will do multi-day luggage storage.

Hey i looked into a lil bit and Yamatos Airport TA-Q-BIN seems okay?
i cant post a link :) www kuronekoyamato.co.jp/ytc/en/send/services/airport/

I will stay a night in Kumamoto -> next day an early Shinkansen to Kagoshima - Ferry over to Yakushima and leave from there to Haneda via Plane
So i could just send my stuff via TA-Q-Bin from Kumamoto to Haneda and pick it up at Haneda 5 days later if i understand everythign correctly?
