Luggage

Can I send luggage ahead before my stay?

Shiosai does not have daytime staff to receive deliveries, so please address any luggage to our sister inn, Onzo, rather than Shiosai. We will hold it for you and hand it over at check-in.

Can I leave my luggage before check-in?

To store luggage before check-in, please bring it directly to our sister inn, Onzo.

Can I leave my luggage after checking out?

Yes. If you leave it at the entrance, we will collect it, and you can pick it up at our sister inn, Onzo.

Can I ship my luggage forward after checking out?

Yes. Within the Imabari–Onomichi (Shimanami Kaido) area, Sagawa Express's "Tebura-bin" hands-free service can deliver the same day. For other domestic destinations, we can ship via Yamato Transport cash-on-delivery (allow about a day extra). We are unable to ship internationally.

What if I leave something behind after checking out?

We can ship forgotten items cash-on-delivery to a domestic address. We're sorry, but we are unable to ship internationally.
