Japanology Plus: 2x66

New Trends in Logistics

When you send a package in Japan, next-day delivery is taken for granted and sometimes even same-day delivery is possible. Japan’s logistics industry is powered by trucks, but drivers are in short supply these days. This time on Japanology Plus, we see how Japan’s logistics industry is changing to meet new challenges. Our guest Hiroaki Oshima is an expert on logistics.

In Plus One, we see the progress of automation at a major facility where packages are moved forward on their journey to each destination.
