7-Eleven now offers luggage storage in Osaka and across Japan

Is there anything a Japanese convenience store doesn’t do? The fact is, in Japan, you can practically live off a konbini.

As one of Japan’s largest convenience store chains, serving around two million customers every day, 7-Eleven offers far more than hot food and last-minute essentials. You can print documents, withdraw cash 24 hours a day using international cards, purchase event tickets – and now, store your luggage, too.

With its latest partnership with Ecbo Cloak luggage storage service, you can leave your bags at 378 (and counting) 7-Eleven stores in Osaka and across Japan. This is particularly convenient, as most 7-Eleven locations operate 24 hours a day and are found in high-traffic areas such as shopping streets and near train stations.

Whether you’re killing time before the 3pm hotel check-in, have hours to spare before heading to the airport, or simply want to stash your shopping while continuing to explore the city, the service allows you to travel light and move freely.

Through Ecbo Cloak’s app or website, both available in English, you can easily search for a 7-Eleven near you, book a storage spot and pay online in advance. This guarantees availability and saves you the frustration of wandering around a train station hoping to find an empty coin locker.

If there’s no participating 7-Eleven nearby, you can make use of Ecbo Cloak’s wider network of luggage storage locations, including cafés, commercial facilities and post offices. Some of these venues can even accommodate oversized items that won’t fit into standard coin lockers, such as strollers, musical instruments and sports equipment.

Pricing is straightforward: ¥500 per day for bags whose longest side is under 45cm, such as backpacks, handbags and carry-ons. Suitcases measuring 45cm or more cost ¥800 per day.
