Ecbo Unveils Multi-Functional Lockers for Easy Travel Storage Across Tokyo

Ecbo Offers Multi-Functional Lockers to Make Travel Hassle-Free

Ecbo Corporation, led by CEO Shinichi Kudo, in collaboration with JR East Smart Logistics, has announced the launch of a reservation system for their innovative 'Multi-Cube' lockers at 45 locations in the Tokyo metropolitan area. Those seeking convenient storage solutions will now be able to utilize these lockers through Ecbo's baggage storage service, known as 'Ecbo cloak'.

The decision to enhance the Ecbo cloak service stems from the need for effective baggage storage options amid a surge in visitors to Japan. With the increase in tourism, particularly in bustling areas like train stations, demand for space can outstrip availability in traditional coin lockers. By leveraging unused spaces in partner facilities and stores, Ecbo aims to address this issue and provide travelers with greater flexibility and accessibility in their storage needs.

Background of Multi-Functional Lockers

Ecbo has positioned itself as a leader in the baggage storage sector by partnering with various stores and facilities near major train stations. The recent collaboration with JR East Smart Logistics focuses on the 'Multi-Cube', which allows users to reserve, store, pick up, and even ship their luggage from a single locker unit. This seamless integration simplifies the entire process for users who no longer need to navigate different storage options based on their specific needs.

As travelers continue to return, Ecbo is also evaluating additional services that could allow for the transportation of luggage from Multi-Cube lockers to other Ecbo cloak locations, enhancing convenience even further.

According to Kōshi Ichihara, CEO of JR East Smart Logistics, promoting a baggage-free sightseeing experience is critical for the East Japan Group. He emphasized the company's aim to work closely with Ecbo to raise awareness about the reservation system, ultimately leading to higher user engagement with the Multi-Cube lockers.

Shinichi Kudo noted a pivotal moment in their partnership, stating, "After over seven years of collaboration with JR East, we have finally established a booking system for station lockers, a concept we've envisioned since the onset. In light of the recovering tourism sector, we are able to offer a solution where users can select optimal storage solutions across both Multi-Cube lockers and Ecbo cloak partner stores within urban areas."

Features of the Multi-Cube Lockers

1. Functionality: The Multi-Cube lockers feature four key functions—reservation, deposit, pickup, and shipping. Customers can enjoy a seamless experience without needing to choose different locks based on their storage needs. The lockers remain securely locked when not in use, providing peace of mind.

2. Deployment: As of the end of October 2025, Ecbo plans to install a total of 685 Multi-Cube units across 223 stations, including high-traffic areas such as Tokyo Station and Shinjuku Station. The target is to expand to approximately 1,000 lockers and 30,000 compartments by the end of fiscal year 2026.

Local Availability and Booking

Customers can now easily reserve a Multi-Cube locker through the Ecbo cloak service. These lockers come in three different sizes—S (¥1,000), M (¥1,500), and L (¥2,000)—allowing users to choose based on the dimensions of their luggage. The service will allow reservations for a maximum of three days and is offered at numerous prime locations throughout Tokyo, catering to both tourists and locals.

Ecbo cloak is an app-driven service designed to streamline the luggage storage process. With over 1,000 locations nationwide, including convenience stores and cafés, users can easily book storage options in advance, whether for small items or larger belongings such as strollers or sports equipment.
