About Kyoto Kawaramachi Station
Located in Kyoto, Kyoto Kawaramachi Station is the northern terminal station of the Hankyu Kyoto main railway line. Opened in 1963, the station soon became a popular one, and now close to 30 million passengers use it every year. In Japan, taking the train is a way of life, but along with the commuter trains, the station is also served by designated sightseeing trains designed to take tourists to the major landmarks between here and Osaka.
Kyoto may be an anagram of Tokyo, but the two cities provide a completely different experience, and it's worth visiting both if you have the time while you're in Japan. You can make it easy to get around by finding a place to store luggage near Kyoto Station. Forget about trying to find coin lockers or a baggage room in the station itself near the ticket office, and instead let Bounce help you find luggage storage close to the station building's central exit, at the West ticket gate, or anywhere else near JR Kyoto Station. In fact, by partnering with local businesses, we make it easy to find luggage storage wherever you need it, whether that's at Kawaramachi Station ticket gates, the Kansai tourist information center, or anywhere else in the city you want to go.
