Kyoto Station luggage storage

About Kyoto Station

Kyoto may be an anagram of Tokyo, and it shares the distinction of having once been the capital of Japan, just as Tokyo is today. But really, the two cities are very different. While Tokyo is a place of futuristic excitement, Kyoto offers a glimpse back into Japan's rich history.

Kyoto Station has the second-largest station building in all of Japan, providing room for a cinema, a hotel, a shopping mall, a tourist information center, and several government offices under one massive roof.

With easy connections to Kyoto Subway Station and the important transit line known as JR, Kyoto Station is the perfect place to find temporary luggage storage so that you can enjoy the city. Forget about coin lockers hidden behind the ticket gate of the ticket office; Bounce is the best luggage storage Kyoto Station offers, so use any of our convenient luggage storage facilities, like the main one at 下京区不明門通り塩小路上ル717 or countless other spots around the city.

How our luggage storage differs from train station lockers

• No coins needed: Unlike traditional coin lockers, Bounce allows for cashless transactions through the app. You won't have to worry about finding 700 Yen for the largest size they have.
• All sizes welcome: Even the largest luggage lockers will have severe size restrictions for bulky items like golf clubs and big suitcases. With our Kyoto Station luggage storage service, if we can lift your items, we can store them.
• Increased protection: In addition to Bounce Shield Protection for peace of mind, we operate staffed locations, so there's always someone watching your stuff during opening hours.
• Many local business partners: Our many partners at local businesses around Kyoto are usually open from 9 AM to 8 PM. Need longer hours? Some stay open later and some will even be open 24 hours. When you drop off your luggage, don't forget to ask the attendant about Kyoto travel recommendations!
