Himeji Station luggage storage

About Himeji Station

One of the top day trip destinations from Osaka is the leafy town of Himeji, which is just a short train ride away from Shin-Osaka Station and Kansai Airport. The city is a notable travel destination for its beautiful Himeji Castle (also known as the “White Heron”) which has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. History buffs can also tack on stops at The Engyo-ji Temple on Mount Shosha along with the Koko-en Garden. The most common way to reach the city is through JR Himeji Station, which is right in town. If you want to visit Himeji Castle, you’ll be steps away once you arrive at Himeji Station. 

Because Himeji is such a common day trip destination, plenty of visitors utilize luggage storage services like Bounce to keep their bags safe while they poke around the city or head to Himeji Castle. We have multiple luggage storage locations serving Himeji, such as our location at 兵庫県姫路市西駅前町１−４ QWELLビル 2階, so you'll almost have too much choice as to where to store the bags.
