Akihabara Station luggage storage

About Akihabara Station

Akihabara Station, located in Tokyo’s Chiyoda Ward, is a popular train station serving the iconic Akihabara neighborhood, with connections throughout the rest of the city and region. There are hundreds of electronics shops and otaku (manga and anime) stores near Akihabara Station, which is why the area gets its nickname of “Electric Town.” It’s one of the most popular neighborhoods in Tokyo and is beloved in Japanese culture (and by tech enthusiasts) and a vital piece of the full Tokyo travel experience. 

Spending an afternoon in Akihabara is made simple by the public transportation connections of its main train station. It's made even simpler by the Bounce luggage storage service, which allows travelers to conveniently find a place to store their bags while they explore.

How luggage storage is different from traditional lockers

• Flexible sizing: While bulky luggage and gear like skis (if you’re planning a getaway to Nagano) won’t fit in station coin lockers, Bounce facilities can accommodate almost anything. 
• Easy reservation changes: Unlike coin-operated lockers that charge by the hour, your 24-hour reservation allows you more freedom to wander around Electric Town. Change the pick-up times on the go or cancel without fees before drop-off.
• Added security: To ensure that only the customer can access their bags, QR codes are used for drop off and pick up.
• Easy access: While lockers will have you prowling the second floor or first floor of a train station (or perhaps it’s the ground floor?) looking for the locker area, Bounce locations are conveniently located and easy to find through the mobile app. 
• Local locations: Bounce partners with trusted local businesses so bags are handled by trained attendants. There is always a person to help you with your bags and even offer some local travel advice. You won't get that with a coin locker! Plus, the Tokyo locations are open, on average, from 9 AM to 8 PM, and you can also find ones open even later (up to 24 hours).
