TOKYO, Japan, November 12, 2025 – Federal Express Corporation (FedEx), one of the world’s largest express transportation companies, has enhanced its service in Japan to better serve customers who are exporting from cities in Aichi and Gifu prefectures. Export customers in the area can now ship parcel and freight shipments picked up on weekdays one day faster.
The enhanced service applies to customers who are using FedEx International Priority® Express (IPE), FedEx International Priority® (IP), FedEx International Priority® Freight (IPF), FedEx International Economy® (IE) and FedEx International Economy® Freight (IEF) for shipments to Asian destinations.
The enhancement covers cities including Ichinomiya, Kasugai, Kita-Nagoya, Iwakura, Konan, and parts of Nishikasugai-gun in Aichi Prefecture; and Gifu, Kakamigahara, and Ogaki in Gifu Prefecture.
The area targeted for this service improvement is part of Japan’s Chukyo Industrial Zone, a major industrial region known for aerospace, automotive, machine tools and textile industries. Trade is active across companies of all sizes, with common destination markets including China, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam and Indonesia.
“This service enhancement reflects our commitment to helping customers move goods more efficiently and reliably in the dynamic Asian markets,” said Kei Alan Kubota, managing director of FedEx Japan. “By shortening transit times from Aichi and Gifu, we support local exporters and contribute to growth in the industries and the broader local economy.”
Earlier this year, FedEx improved transit times for packages from select cities in Saitama and Kyoto prefectures, enabling customers there to ship packages one day earlier to destinations worldwide. The company continues to strengthen and optimize its global network and plans to double the warehouse capacity at Narita International Airport, with phased operations expected to begin in the latter half of 2026.
