Hakata Station luggage storage

About Hakata Station

Fukuoka City and its bustling Hakata Ward represent one of Japan’s underexplored gems for international travelers, but that’s changing as this city’s reputation as a haven for foodies and culturistas is no longer a best-kept secret. Even as Fukuoka’s profile has risen, it remains a deeply authentic place. The Nakata District is lined with no-frills eateries, buzzy nightclubs, and rowdy Izakaya. There’s plenty of history here, especially the Kushida Shine and Tochoji Temple. 

The busiest transit facility serving Fukuoka is Hakata Station, which is located in the heart of the city and is well-connected with Shinkansen bullet trains and the local metro. Commuters and tourists needing luggage storage in Hakata are well-served by the many Bounce locations in the area, especially the main one at 福岡市博多区博多駅東１丁目１３−１７　松岡ビル８階. All you have to do is pick one!

How luggage storage is different from typical train station lockers

• Flexibility in storage size: Unlike coin-operated lockers, which are highly limited in terms of size, Bounce locations can accommodate a wide variety of luggage sizes and even specialty items like golf bags or athletic equipment.
• Added protection: All our luggage storage locations have staff present during opening hours, which are generally from 9 AM to 8 PM. Some are open late (up to 24 hours a day). The attendants keep an eye on your belongings while you explore the city. Coin lockers generally don't have any staff.
• Local business partners: Since we partner with local shops and other businesses, you can always expect a personal touch and friendly face when dropping off or picking up your items.
