What to do with luggage when biking to another city

I will be biking shimanami kaido, and would like to send my luggage from the Onomici terminal to Imabari terminal. Since I am biking I can not bring my luggage. I will be staying at an air bnb. How do you suggest I get my luggage from point A to point B

I was hoping to use the Yamato courier and it seems like it is a door to door service nd no one will be there to accept luggage.

Can send my luggage from one yamato office to another? OR do you have other suggestions

Thank You,
Maria

Yes, you can send your luggage from one office to another - I did that when I was staying at an Airbnb.

>> no one will be there
Do you mean the Imabari terminal, the bnb, or both?

I went on to the Yamato website and located the office closest to my Airbnb. Unfortunately the location map is all in Japanese - I know enough to figure out where the offices are but if you don't, I think they have an English telephone number - here's the link to it:

Depending on the length of your stay in Imabari and your ongoing plans, you might consider forwarding your luggage to the next destination after that and riding with a few overnight essentials in a backpack.
