URL: Nishitetsu Group Press release: March 14, 2025 Nishitetsu and Anycarry support “hands-free sightseeing” in Fukuoka ～Luggage delivery service started at 6 hotels in Fukuoka city～ Nishinihon Railway Co., Ltd. (Hakata-ku, Fukuoka City, Representative Director, President and Executive Officer: Koichi Hayashida) has partnered with Anycarry Co., Ltd. (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Hidenobu Kosaki), and Nishitetsu Hotels Co., Ltd. (Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City, Representative Director and President: Toyofuku) From March 17, 2025, six hotels in Fukuoka City operated by Tatsuya will begin a service where suitcases and other luggage can be left at the front desk and delivered to JR Hakata Station on the same day. In recent years, many tourists from both Japan and abroad have been visiting Fukuoka. Sightseeing while carrying large baggage such as suitcases is inconvenient for tourists, and can also cause congestion on public transportation such as trains and buses. By using this service, customers can enjoy sightseeing comfortably and empty-handed, and it is also expected to prevent contact between suitcases and people and accidents caused by falls. Through this measure, we aim to further enhance Fukuoka’s appeal as a tourist destination and revitalize the region by promoting hands-free tourism, improving the comfort of movement, and easing congestion at tourist spots and public transportation.
