Store your luggage around Himeji with Bounce
Located in Japan’s historic Kansai region, Himeji is one of the best places in the country to take a trip back in time. Famous for its ancient white castle, which is one of the last remaining relics of Japan’s feudal era - and certainly one of the most impressive - Himeji is a stunning place to explore the world of samurai and shoguns that can seem very far away in super-modern Tokyo.
Himeji is a good distance from the Japanese capital, and you’ll need to drive for more than seven hours or take a train for more than nine to reach it. But in many ways, this remoteness is part of its appeal. Along with the historic riches of the city, there are plenty of places in the surrounding area where you can get a taste of Japanese rural life and the country's beautiful scenery.
Whether you decide to use your Japan rail pass to bring you to Himeji train station or you prefer to drive to make visiting Himeji Castle easier, you'll have a much better time if you take advantage of a local luggage storage service. Instead of hoping to find coin lockers at Himeji station, consider using a service like Bounce that can store luggage safely, securely, and affordably.
