Discover Okayama luggage storage

If you're traveling to Okayama by Shinkansen, you'll likely arrive at Okayama Station, which sits at the crossroads of the Sanyo Shinkansen and local lines. Coin lockers here come in several sizes and range from ¥400 to ¥1000. They're scattered near the Shinkansen gate, underground passages, and inside Okayama Ichibangai mall. But, during peak hours, especially golden week or summer holidays, the large lockers fill up fast. Bounce has a location nearby called Okayama Station East Exit. It's rated 4.7 with over 90 reviews and is open on Sundays, too. From there, you're in a great position to explore the city for as long as you like. Each Bounce booking includes ¥1,000,000 protection, which gives you peace of mind while wandering through the plum groves.

Okayama is home to one of Japan's three great gardens, Korakuen . It covers around 13 hectares with lawns, ponds, and the Enyo tei tea house overlooking everything. Okayama Castle sits right across the Asahi River, so most visitors do both in one trip. However, with their gravel paths and small bridges, neither place is ideal for dragging a suitcase around. Store bags in the city before heading over. The train takes 5 minutes from JR Okayama Station, or it's a 25 minute walk through the city for those who have more time on their hands. Bounce has already handled hundreds of bags in Okayama, so travelers clearly rely on it. Prices start from ¥500, and you can book ahead through the app. The garden opens at 7:30 in warmer months and 8:00 in winter. Last entry is 30 minutes before closing. Plan to spend at least two hours here, maybe more if you catch the seasonal flowers or want to try matcha at one of the tea houses.

The Okayama Convention Center, sometimes called Mamakari Forum, hosts conferences and events throughout the year. It's walkable from JR Okayama Station. Maybe 10 to 15 minutes on foot. If you're attending something here and already checked out of your hotel, lugging a suitcase into a conference room isn't exactly professional. Instead, make use of one of the many Bounce locations around the city. With 4.9 on the app, you know other travelers have tested the service. If your event ends early, you can grab dinner or browse the shops before collecting your things. Quick, simple, no stress.
