Who runs it: Yamato Transport
How long it takes: Next day, or the day after for some areas.
Worth knowing: You can also send a bag ahead to the airport with the Airport TA-Q-BIN service.

This is a smaller airport, so arrange an eSIM before you fly rather than counting on a counter in the arrivals hall.

eSIM: Bought before you leave home and installed over Wi-Fi, so you land connected. Needs a phone that takes an eSIM and is not carrier-locked.
Prepaid SIM: Sold at the arrivals counters and vending machines at the larger airports. You swap your physical SIM — keep the old one safe.
Pocket Wi-Fi: A rented router for several devices at once. Picked up and dropped back at the airport counter, or posted back.
Free Wi-Fi: Available in the terminal. It stops when you leave the building.
