Return trip for the New Year holidays with a private jumbo taxi | Large luggage can be transported in one vehicle to Omiya and Tokyo Station

The rush to return home on the Shinkansen is as usual this year.From December 28 to 31The peak season is from December 29 to 30. It gets so crowded that people even stand on the deck for free seats. In this article, we will specifically introduce how families who are going home by Shinkansen during the New Year holidays can get through the “final stretch” from their homes to Omiya Station and Tokyo Station, along with the usage of the private jumbo taxi (New Year Holiday Return Shinkansen Transfer).

The real battle begins when you get to the station at the end of the year and before the New Year.

I booked my Shinkansen ticket a month in advance. All that’s left is to just ride it on the day—but as it turns out, the part that uses the most energy during a return trip at the end of the year is actually the part that takes the longest.From home to the station platformIt can be like that. If it’s done by three generations, the number of luggage and people will increase, and the station’s congestion will also become heavier. First, try to think concretely about “the common things.”

As a souvenir in your suitcase, your luggage doubles at the end of the year

Returning home is a big burden from the way back. In addition to the suitcase for changing clothes, there are also gifts for my parents, New Year’s greetings for my children, children’s toys, and baby strollers. On the way back, there are also mochi and tangerines for “take home,” and souvenirs to fill up the luggage even more. On the train, we have to carry all this weight with our families, climbing and descending stairs and escalators.

With three generations, the pace of walking and the switching of modes are all different.

With grandparents taking it slow, children being carried on their laps along the way, and parents carrying luggage in both hands, moving from the conventional line to the Shinkansen requires walking out of the ticket gate once and then reuniting at the platform—a journey that becomes increasingly tiring the more people are involved.

At the end of the year, Omiya Station and Tokyo Station are packed with people waiting for lockers and lines.

There are numerous coin lockers in Omiya Station, but only a small portion of them are large enough to accommodate large luggage. During the rush hour for returning home trips, it is not uncommon for large lockers to be completely filled up first, and it is not uncommon to find yourself walking around the station looking for a place to store your luggage. The taxi stand tends to get very crowded, and even after arriving at the station, it is still a hassle.

With a charter jumbo taxi, one vehicle travels from your front door to the ticket gate.

The private jumbo taxi (Toyota HiAce Wide Super Long / up to 9 passengers) can transport your entire family and their luggage from the front door of your home to the car entrance at Omiya Station or Tokyo Station. Let’s eliminate each of the “common inconveniences” mentioned above one by one.

Bringing several large suitcases onto a Shinkansen train is also a problem when it comes to securing luggage storage space. If the section to the station is rented out, at leastThe difficulty of carrying luggage from home to the train stationYou can give it all away. If you think about it like this: "We all split the cost of this effort," the burden on each individual won't be as big as you might think.
