About Odawara Station
Situated south of Tokyo in Kanagawa Prefecture, Odawara is one of the lesser-known day trip destinations from the capital. It hugs the coastline along Tokyo Bay and provides access to the intriguing Izu Peninsula and its many outdoor offerings and (truly) tranquil temples along with the beautiful Odawara Castle. Like essentially anywhere in Japan, Odawara is impeccably well-connected through various train lines, including the remarkable Shinkansen bullet trains.
With plenty of sightseeing and hiking opportunities, you may want to look into storing your baggage near Odawara Station. The best options in town are the luggage storage facilities operated by Bounce and we have multiple locations to choose from, including the 神奈川県小田原市栄町1-2-1 小田原駅前ビル 6Ｆ location.

How luggage storage is different from train station lockers
- Flexibility with time and size: Storage lockers at train stations are often severely limited in terms of the size of bags they can hold, but Bounce facilities don't have these sorts of limitations. Additionally, instead of worrying about getting back to feed the coin lockers at most train stations in Japan, you're able to book for 24 hours at a time as well as adjust the duration of your luggage storage on the go.
- Better protection for your stuff: Bounce issues, QR confirmation codes that are used for easy check-in along with additional security measures. Plus, with our staffed locations, someone is watching your belongings during the spot's opening hours. In general, these hours run from 9 AM to 8 PM, but some have extended hours and are open later.
- Local businesses: Bounce partners with local shops and businesses to provide the most convenient locations possible. These are staffed by friendly locals who can always make recommendations.
