Bounce Launches Luggage Storage Service at Shinjuku Station in Partnership with Odakyu Travel

Bounce Introduces Luggage Storage Services

In a significant move to enhance travel convenience, Bounce, Inc., known for its extensive luggage storage services across 4,000 cities and 32,000 locations worldwide, has joined forces with Odakyu Travel. This collaboration is set to debut at Tokyo’s Shinjuku Station, one of the busiest transport hubs globally.

Background of the Partnership

In recent years, Shinjuku Station has become a key destination for travelers, especially with a notable surge in foreign tourists visiting Japan. However, this influx has brought about challenges such as overcrowded spaces due to travelers carrying large suitcases and a shortage of coin lockers, complicating their journey. Recognizing these issues, Bounce and Odakyu Travel aim to improve the experience for both domestic and international visitors by providing a seamless luggage storage solution right at the station. Odakyu Travel's travel center, strategically located within the station, serves as an ideal partner for Bounce, allowing travelers to easily drop off their luggage and explore the surrounding area without the burden of heavy bags.

Service Overview

The new luggage storage service will be accessible through the Bounce app, where travelers can make advance reservations and payments at designated locations. Whether they are tourists eager to explore Tokyo's attractions or business travelers with limited time, this service will cater to a diverse audience. Supporting multiple languages, including Japanese and English, the service aims to be user-friendly for international visitors. With compensation coverage of up to 1 million yen per reservation, travelers can rest assured that their belongings are secure.

Cody Candee, the founder and CEO of Bounce, expressed his enthusiasm about this partnership, stating, "We are thrilled to provide our luggage storage service at Shinjuku Station, one of the largest terminals in Japan. Establishing a presence in such a central location will significantly enhance the convenience for travelers.
