Moving rate of Nittu
10 English friendly moving companies in Japan
If you are single, the moving rate starts from around 30,000 yen. Averagely, requester’s quote is between 40,000 yen and 60,000 yen regardless of a normal or busy season.
If you don’t distinguish your stuff between discarding items and carrying items systematically, your moving quote easily exceeds 100,000 yen.
Counting on cheap moving rate with quote negotiation too much is not really good. Making sure if you have something to discard before moving is one of the ways to reduce the moving cost because a major moving company sometimes lack flexibility in price negotiation.
Nittu is said the moving price is different between a quote and actual payment. Moving price of your actual payment is 10,000 yen to 20,000 yen less than the price written on the quote.
Ideal plan for single
There is a good moving plan for a single person, called “single package”. If you move with a short distance, you can receive your stuff at a new living place on the same day.

Moving plan for family
Moving plan for a family will change its moving plan content depending on how much staff supports the customer’s moving plan. In “Self Plan”, customers need to pack moving items into boxes and unpack the boxes after the boxes reach the customer’s new house or apartment themselves.
Regarding large stuff such as a closet and a fridge, staff will pack and carry out and in.
“Half plan” is for those who need the support of staff to pack items into boxes. During moving work, if you can make time to do moving work because you need to take care of your children not to disturb moving work, this “half plan” is the best choice which you can get great support of packing reasonably.
“Full plan” is for those who want to leave any moving works to Nittu staff. This is the most expensive plan for a family moving but furniture and appliances installation, placing small items back where it was before moving, taking packing materials are all included in this plan. There is nothing you can do but you just look on without doing anything until all the moving work is done.
