I need to ship my motorbike from Japan to Europe
Hello traveller world!
At the end of August/beginning os September 2017 I will end my trip in Japan
And I really need to find the way to ship my motorbike back to Europe (south of Europe will be fine I dont care were)
Anyone have some company to suggest?
I send a lot of E-mails but the most of the companies doesnt answer!
I read the HU links of shipping company but most of them are just USA only...
With the rest of them I send mails... a lot of them.
So any help is something!
Thanks!
You can private mail me if you want!

Try ARMACUP JAPAN K.K. An Expert in Shipping Used Car >
You may have to telephone if they do not reply to e-mails.
If you telephone the companies that did not reply to your e-mails, you may be more successful.
They may have mistaken your English e-mail as spam because they mostly deal with Japanese customers. This is a common problem.
Also try Interfracht.

We consider about it however we cannot handle motor bike to Europe by our policy.
We are very sorry about that and also sorry for late reply.
Have a nice day.

Hi all, I'm looking for the same need this year , mid-August, to ship my bike from Japan to Europe (Ideally France, but can be anywhere in Europe in fact). I'm planning a road-trip from my home in France to Tokyo through Europe, Russia, Mongolia, and will arrive in Japan by ferry from Vladivostok.
I red that some of you guys did such a shipping from Japan to Europe already, and I would be more than interested for some feed-back about the way it has been made, costs, port departure in Japan and Port arrival in Europe, etc...
I've today first contacts - thanks to Chris here - with Interfracht (I'll have a RoRo quotation tomorrow normally) and James Cargo (first email).
Thanks in advance !
