\nYes. You do not need to live in Japan or have a Japanese residential address to use this short-term plan.<\/p>\n
Where you fly in from doesn\u2019t matter either \u2014 families visiting from anywhere in the world are equally welcome.<\/p>\n

This service is a good fit if you are:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Staying in a hotel and want a few good toys for downtime in the room<\/li>\n
- Visiting Japan with a baby or toddler and can’t pack much in your luggage<\/li>\n
- Looking for quiet, screen-free ways to fill rainy days and jet-lag mornings<\/li>\n
- Visiting grandparents or relatives whose home isn’t set up for young children<\/li>\n
- Trying to avoid buying toys in Japan that you’d then have to fly home<\/li>\n
- Visiting from anywhere in the world \u2014 Asia, Europe, the Americas, or beyond (we text in clear, translation-friendly English)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/div>\nBuilt for short visits<\/b>

\nYes. If your hotel accepts packages for guests \u2014 and many hotels in Japan do \u2014 we can deliver directly to the front desk.<\/p>\n
Receiving luggage and packages at hotels is common practice in Japan. That said, each property has its own rules: some hold packages that arrive before check-in, others don’t. After you send the booking request form, we double-check delivery feasibility on our side as well.<\/p>\n

\nA few hotels don’t accept packages before check-in. A quick message to your hotel \u2014 “Can you receive a package for me before I arrive?” \u2014 before you send the booking request makes everything smoother.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nHow the hotel address should look<\/h3>\n
For hotel deliveries, the guest name and check-in date go on the label so the front desk can match the package to your reservation.<\/p>\n
\nExample<\/b><\/p>\n
Hotel Name
\nGuest Name: Taro Yamada
\nCheck-in Date: August 10
\n1-2-3 Example, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo<\/p>\n<\/div>\nHow the toy box arrives<\/h2>\n
Your toys arrive in a single cardboard box, shipped by Yamato Transport or Sagawa Express<\/b> \u2014 Japan’s two major parcel carriers.<\/p>\n
The box is what Japanese carriers call a “size 100”<\/b> parcel: the three sides add up to roughly 100 cm in total. Picture something around 40 \u00d7 35 \u00d7 25 cm (about 16 \u00d7 14 \u00d7 10 inches) \u2014 close to a carry-on suitcase<\/span> \u2014 so it sits in the corner of a hotel room without getting in the way.<\/p>\n

Nothing extra to buy, and no packing materials to hunt down on your last day.<\/p>\n
Optional: a play-mat toy bag (+\u00a52,000 rental)<\/h3>\n
![\"Drawstring](\"https:\/\/kidslabo.xsrv.jp\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/\u304a\u3082\u3061\u3083\u30d0\u30c3\u30af-1024x594.jpg\")
\nFor an extra \u00a52,000 rental fee, we can add a drawstring toy bag that opens flat into a play mat<\/b>.<\/p>\n
- \n
- Spread it open on the bed or floor and play on top \u2014 small parts are easier to keep together.<\/li>\n
- When playtime ends, pull the drawstring: everything is packed away in seconds.<\/li>\n
- The mat gives your child a clearer, more comfortable play space on the bed or floor \u2014 genuinely handy in a hotel room.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The bag is a rental item and should be returned together with the toys. Want it? Just mention the toy bag in the notes of your booking request form.<\/p>\n
How much does toy rental in Japan cost?<\/h2>\n
![\"Kids](\"https:\/\/kidslabo.xsrv.jp\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Kids-Laboratory-Short-Term-Toy-Rental-Pricing-in-Japan-1024x683.png\")
\nYou’re probably thinking in nights, not months \u2014 so here is the simple version.<\/p>\n
The short-term rental is a flat \u00a56,500, tax included (roughly [kl_usd yen=”6500″]), for up to 30 days counted from your scheduled delivery date.<\/span><\/p>\n
It\u2019s the same price whether you stay 4 nights or 20. There is no per-day calculation and no subscription to cancel afterward. Return shipping, and any remote-area delivery fee if applicable, are explained before payment.<\/p>\n
\nPrice examples<\/b><\/p>\n
- \n
- 4 nights in Tokyo: \u00a56,500 (tax included)<\/li>\n
- 10 days across Osaka and Kyoto: \u00a56,500 (tax included)<\/li>\n
- 20 days around Japan: \u00a56,500 (tax included)<\/li>\n
- Any stay up to 30 days from the delivery date: \u00a56,500 (tax included)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
Staying longer than 30 days? Send the booking request first and we’ll work out the details with you individually.<\/p>\n
Booking opens 3 months before your trip<\/h3>\n
You can send a booking request up to 3 months before the date you’d like the toys to arrive.<\/p>\n
Flights and hotels tend to get booked early \u2014 once your dates and accommodation are set, feel free to reach out, even months in advance.<\/p>\n
The deposit is \u00a530,000, and yes, it comes back<\/h3>\n
![\"Kids](\"https:\/\/kidslabo.xsrv.jp\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Kids-Laboratory-Short-Term-Toy-Rental-Deposit-and-Refund-in-Japan-1024x683.png\")
\nWhen you book, we hold a refundable deposit of \u00a530,000 (roughly [kl_usd yen=”30000″]) on your credit card.<\/p>\n
The deposit exists to cover unreturned or lost items. Once the toys are back with us, we confirm everything is there, settle any shipping adjustments, and refund the rest.<\/p>\n
We initiate the refund with your credit card company within 3 days of confirming the return<\/span> \u2014 including after you’ve already flown home.<\/p>\n
How quickly the refund appears on your statement depends on your card issuer, and processing for cards issued outside Japan can take longer. Because everything is billed in Japanese yen, the amount shown in your home currency may differ slightly from the original charge due to exchange rates.<\/p>\n
Cards issued outside Japan are accepted<\/h3>\n
Visa, Mastercard, and American Express cards issued outside Japan all work with our payment system.<\/p>\n
In rare cases, a card issuer’s own security checks or spending restrictions can block an international charge \u2014 if that happens, we’ll let you know and sort it out together by text.<\/p>\n
You will never be asked to send your card number by email or chat. Once delivery and toy availability are confirmed, we send you a secure link where you register your card directly.<\/p>\n
