Now, many of you might be planning to visit Kyoto during your trip to Japan.
One of the challenges you may face is dealing with your luggage, like suitcases.

And even more challenging is the difficulty in finding a place to store those suitcases.
By reading today’s article, you’ll quickly find a place to store your luggage.

1. Luggage Storage Service (Reservation Required)

Using a luggage storage service in advance is a smart choice.
It saves you from searching for coin lockers after arriving at the station.
You can search and make reservations for luggage storage around Kyoto Station through ecbo cloak.

For storing luggage for a day, the price is 500 yen for bag size and 1,000 yen for suitcase size.
Some locations accept payments via Google/Apple Pay.
The only drawback is that each facility has a limited storage capacity, so if you don’t reserve early, you might not be able to store your luggage on the day.
If you know your travel dates to Kyoto in advance, it’s best to make a reservation early to ensure a spot.

2. Crosta Kyoto

Next, Crosta Kyoto is also included in the list of ecbo cloak reservation facilities, and it’s the easiest to find and highly recommended.

In addition to temporary luggage storage, they offer services to deliver luggage directly to your accommodation (some hotels may not accept this) and delivery services.
They can even store sports equipment like bows and snowboards.
