Introduction to ecbo cloak

January 18, 2026, marks a significant milestone for ecbo Corporation, led by CEO Shinichi Kudo, as their luggage storage service, ecbo cloak, celebrates its ninth anniversary.

Reflecting on 2025

In 2025, ecbo entered a new chapter by becoming the official luggage storage and delivery service provider for the Osaka-Kansai Expo, held from April to October. This prestigious role allowed ecbo to showcase its offerings to visitors from around the world.

Considering the uptick in inbound tourism, ecbo also expanded its network of participating locations domestically, partnering with numerous accessible facilities including convenience stores such as 7-Eleven, the Shin-Marubiru building, and Keio Department Store in Shinjuku. This broadening initiative made their services increasingly available to a diverse clientele.

Furthermore, in collaboration with East Japan Railway Company's Smart Logistics division, ecbo introduced a feature in November allowing users to reserve multi-functional lockers called ‘Multi-Cube’ through the ecbo cloak platform, effectively integrating with traditional coin lockers.

Thanks to these progressive changes, ecbo cloak earned significant recognition in 2025. At the 5th Hankyu Hanshin Real Estate Co-Creation Awards held in April, ecbo shockingly took home the Grand Prize as well as the Audience Award. Additionally, in December, the service was honored with an Excellence Award at the 5th Japan Service Awards, creating numerous collaboration opportunities with other enterprises.

CEO's Reflection

Shinichi Kudo, the CEO, expressed immense gratitude to all users and partner businesses for their support. He relayed that 2025 was a year of leaps and challenges for ecbo as they served as an essential infrastructure for international visitors at the Osaka-Kansai Expo.

The accolades received by ecbo cloak serve as a powerful motivation for the team, affirming their great strides in establishing a reliable service.

“Our mission is to provide ‘Freedom in Ownership,’” Kudo emphasized.
