Alternatives
Always confirm directly: luggage storage between stays, parcel acceptance, fees, courier cutoff times and delivery dates. This is a guide, not a confirmed booking or price quote.

Leave it at a Tokyo hotel: Best to check when returning to the same property; multi-day storage is not guaranteed.
Ship it to a hotel: Check whether the property accepts parcels, when they can arrive and what shipping costs.
Carry it on the Shinkansen: No shipping coordination. Some oversized suitcases require advance reservation of suitable seating or storage.
