Reply To: Luggage shipping service
I am travel agent and take similar queries occasionally. Unfortunately there is no inexpensive solution to make the same-day delivery system. You have a solution but it is just like to hire a car and the driver doing the round trip in one day.
If you or your family use(s) a wheelchair, you can book the “tamokuteki-shitsu” or multipupose room or the compartment for disabled people.The porter service is not likely at the train station. Alternative solution is that you hire a person to help carry the luggage in one station and another at the station you get off the train. Again it is costly solution.
Between Tokyo and Kyoto, the luggage is delivered within one day, i.e. if you send it today, you will get it tomorrow. So I would suggest you travel carrying minimum luggage with which you can survive one day.
