Takuhaibin, modernized

Today’s luggage forwarding still depends on handwritten forms, phone bookings and multi-copy slips—costly for staff and confusing for guests.

Takumo simplifies the same trusted flow into one seamless digital process: staff prefill and print a single carrier-compliant label, while travelers receive instant bilingual updates.

The tradition of omotenashi remains; the paperwork disappears.

Takumo integrates people, systems, and carriers into one smooth flow—so excellence feels effortless and every minute spent delivers more value.

Seamless Integrations
