As the world’s third-largest economy, it’s probably no surprise to learn that Japan sees countless parcels travelling in and out of its borders every day, making it important to find an international courier service that can quickly and reliably get your parcels where they need to go.

Much like in the UK, Japan hosts several national holidays throughout the year, all of which have the potential to increase delivery times. We recommend checking in case your parcel could be in transit on any of the following dates:
It’s also important to be aware of local holidays. We recommend sending your parcel earlier to increase your chances of arriving on time.

You should also follow the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations and the UK Civil Aviation Authority guides for the latest restrictions for sending a parcel to Japan via air.
For those sending parcels to Japan from the UK, it’s worth noting that, except for major roads, the majority of Japanese streets aren’t named. Instead, cities and towns are divided into core areas, subareas, and blocks.
Fortunately, you can keep things simple when you send a parcel to Japan by writing the address in English in the following structure:
For example:
Mr J. Bloggs
5-4-2 Ginza, Chuo-Ku
Tokyo 100-0004
JAPAN
But even if you’re unsure about doing this, there’s no need to worry. All you need to do is enter the right address information at checkout and we’ll make sure it’s formatted correctly when you print your label.
