About Osaka Station
The Japanese city of Osaka has two major rail terminals, Osaka and Shin-Osaka. That means it's very important to make sure you know what station you'll be arriving at or leaving from. Osaka Station shares a building with Osaka Umeda Subway Station, and together, they make up the busiest station in Western Japan, serving more than 2 million passengers every day.
In a busy place like this, you'll want to find a place to store luggage and travel light as soon as you can. Luckily, Bounce makes sure you don't have to rely on coin lockers. We partner with local businesses that have a baggage room so that you can choose from our baggage storage service at 大阪府大阪市北区梅田2-1-21 レイズウメダビル6階 and other locations throughout the city.
How to pay for luggage storage at Osaka Station
- Book quickly online: Depending on your preference, you can use either our app or website to search for Osaka Station luggage storage. Then, you book by making a secure online payment.
- Easy-to-understand flat rates: Working out the total cost of luggage storage at a coin locker can be tricky, so we only use flat rates to keep things simple. What you see at the time of booking is all that you'll pay.
- Bag space is guaranteed: Unlike typical coin lockers in Osaka Station or the JR Bus Terminal, you book your spot in advance, so it's guaranteed. With lockers, you roll the dice when you show up.
How luggage storage is different from train station lockers
- Large luggage welcome: Even large lockers may not be able to accommodate oversize items like golf clubs or surfboards. We have whole rooms in which to store items, so you won't be squeezing stuff into a hard-sided locker.
- Better protection and security: When you combine our comprehensive protection and our stand-alone locations, you get better security. Lockers tend to be in public areas and don't offer generous coverage if something happens.
- Local partners: Our luggage storage network is made up of local businesses with extra space for storing items. This means there is always staff onsite to help you and even offer Osaka travel tips if you want them. These businesses have opening hours from 9 AM to 8 PM for the most part, and some are open up to 24 hours a day.
