ecbo cloak
Started in Tokyo in January 2017, “ecbo cloak” is a space-sharing service that brings together “people whowant to check luggage” and “facilities with the space to check that luggage.” A wide variety of spaces (cafes,beauty salons, bicycle rental shops, kimono rental shops, co-working spaces, shrines, etc.) are used toprovide this hospitality experience. At present, we operate primarily in Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Fukuoka,Okinawa, Hokkaido, and Ehime. Our services are for use not only by travelers from inside and outside
Japan, but also in a variety of other situations, such as people who are shopping or participating in events.
We will also check large items that will not fit into coin lockers (baby strollers, sports equipment, musicalinstruments, etc.).
