Shipping times and costs from London, United Kingdom to Tokyo, Japan

Shipping Container Costs to Japan

Tokyo is the capital of Japan and is a city that is filled with life and energy. It is home to the Japanese government and is the most populous metropolitan area in the world. Tokyo is a city brimming with culture and contains many museums, (including the Tokyo National Museum, which is the largest in the country) theatres, galleries and music venues. Those who enjoy nature will appreciate the many gardens and national parks, including the Shinjuku Gyoen and the Imperial Palace East Gardens. Even though many signs in Tokyo are in both Japanese and English, it would benefit expats greatly to make an effort to learn the country's language. There are many different areas to look for accommodation in Tokyo and whilst rent can be pretty high, there are an abundance of apartments and guesthouses to choose from. Expats will be able to travel around the city quickly and efficiently using Tokyo's extensive subway, train and bus system. Finding an affordable place to live in Tokyo might be challenging, but shipping your items to the city will not. Those of you who are unsure on what size shipping container to use, here's a rough idea: A 40-foot container should accommodate a vehicle and the contents of a 3-bedroom house, or the contents of a 4 or 5-bedroom house, for those who do not need to transport a vehicle. Alternatively, a 20-foot container option is available for those transporting the contents of a 3-bedroom house only.
