Long-distance transportation for families relocating or moving house with heavy luggage—no change of vehicles required, private jumbo taxi service

When the move date arrives, even if you entrust the packing to a moving company, the long-distance travel of the family itself tends to be put on the back burner. With young children, parents with weakened legs, and pets, just getting on the train or plane is a full-time job. How can you arrange for the long-distance transportation of the family during the relocation process, whether by Shinkansen, plane, or private car? In this article, we will organize how to choose and prepare for a private taxi that won’t fail, based on the differences between Shinkansen, plane, and private cars. If the pickup and drop-off location is within the coverage area of either the Tokyo 23 wards or Saitama Prefecture, you can arrange for door-to-door transportation to your new home from there.

The reason why moving for a job transfer is surprisingly difficult for families

The actual move is handled by the moving company. However, on the day of the move or the day before or after, the family must move to their new home on their own. This is a burden that is often overlooked when moving for a transfer or change of job. First, try to think of specific examples.

The luggage is handled by a carrier, but "long-distance travel by people" is left out of the equation.

Even if we can have cardboard delivered, we will bring our own luggage—clothes, valuables, children’s toys, and emergency medicine—for the day. Carrying a small suitcase or a Boston bag, we will walk up the train station stairs and through the platform to get to our destination—a grueling effort that will burn up our energy as we travel long distances. Finding the ticket gates and bus stops in unfamiliar territory is also taxing for our exhausted bodies before we arrive.

When children, elderly parents, and pets are all together, the choices become significantly narrowed down.

With a baby on board, you can’t be too worried about them being fussy on the Shinkansen. If you have a parent with mobility issues, you have to find the elevator every time you change trains. If you have a pet, you have to start by checking which transportation option is available for everyone. If you split the responsibility among one member of the family, it’s possible that everyone won’t be able to get around using the same means. As a result, it’s not uncommon for everyone to be exhausted from the moment they arrive—especially if they have to split the responsibility between themselves and their grandparents.

How is a chartered taxi different from bullet trains, airplanes, and private cars?

Each method has its advantages. Instead of criticizing them, let’s list honestly what each of us feels when faced with the conditions of “family + heavy luggage + children/elderly/pets” when transferring or relocating.

What I want to address here is the “struggle of letting go of money.” The charter fee is surprisingly affordable when divided by the number of people. What’s more, you can put aside all the hard-to-quantify struggles—such as the hassle of changing trains, the difficulty of carrying heavy luggage, and the fatigue of worrying about your family splitting up—and let them go. Not many families feel that chartering is worth it when the number of people is enough.

Checkpoints for choosing a private transfer that won't fail

Because of its long distance, there are some points you should keep in mind before placing an order. By checking the following four points, you can significantly reduce your anxiety on the day of delivery.

Things to do and notes to keep in mind before departure

Relocations involving transfers are concentrated in a particular time period. Depending on the timing, the sense of security on the day can vary.

The rule of thumb is "make reservations as soon as possible after the invitation is issued."

Informal changes in corporate employment are usually announced in late February to early March, and many employees start on April 1. The peak period for moving is from mid-March to early April (in 2026, the peak is estimated to be around March 14 to April 5). Because traffic is heavy both for cars and people during this time, it is best to consult as soon as you have an idea of the schedule so that you can secure your preferred dates.

Something I want to check because it's a long distance trip

If you share the departure and arrival times, the places you want to stop along the way (such as final confirmation of the old residence, a get-together, or shopping near the new residence), and how you want to take breaks in advance, it will make things go smoothly on the day itself. Be sure to communicate as much as you can about the amount of luggage, the physical condition of your children and elderly family members, and whether you have pets. This will ensure that you arrive without leaving too much fatigue behind after your arrival.
