Worrying about dragging your suitcase around while waiting to check into your accommodation—or struggling to find a locker—is a common issue for many travelers abroad. To tackle this inconvenience, Tokyo now offers a unique service where you can leave your luggage at cafés, specialty shops, bars, and more, greatly enhancing convenience for visitors. The Japanese website ecbo cloak partners with Tokyo-based businesses to provide luggage storage services. Small bags (with no side longer than 45 cm) cost just 300 yen (about NT$85) per day, while suitcases are 600 yen per day. Currently, over 80 partner stores are involved, saving travelers valuable time and effort.

The ecbo cloak sharing-economy platform functions like an Airbnb for luggage, connecting numerous Tokyo shops that offer extra space for temporary luggage storage. This setup not only benefits travelers but also allows businesses to earn additional income from unused space. Ecbo cloak supports five languages—including Chinese, English, and Korean—and allows users to book online or via its app. After making a reservation, you can drop off your luggage at the partner store and head out to explore worry-free, simply paying and collecting your bags before the store closes. In the rare event of loss or damage, the store may be liable for compensation of up to 200,000 yen.
