Bounce, Inc. (hereinafter 'Bounce'), which operates the luggage storage service 'Bounce' deployed in over 4,000 cities and 35,000 locations worldwide, has launched a partnership in Kyoto with JTB Global Marketing & Travel Inc. (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Tsuneo Ishida; hereinafter 'JTBGMT'), a JTB Group company specializing in inbound travel to Japan. Through this collaboration, Bounce will begin accepting luggage for storage at the Sunrise Tour Desk (Kyoto Avanti B1F), located in the commercial complex Kyoto Avanti in front of Kyoto Station. Additionally, by introducing the luggage storage service to travelers, the initiative will provide a more comfortable sightseeing experience for both domestic and international tourists visiting Kyoto. With this effort, travelers can drop off large luggage, such as suitcases, and enjoy sightseeing around Kyoto city 'hands-free'.
Background and Purpose of the Partnership
Kyoto is one of Japan's premier tourist destinations, attracting many travelers from all over the world. However, in recent years, with the increase in foreign visitors to Japan, congestion on public transportation and travel stress in tourist areas caused by moving around with large suitcases have become significant issues.
As a luggage storage network used by travelers worldwide, Bounce has provided 'tourism experiences unconstrained by luggage' by reducing the limitations bags place on travelers' movement routes. Since the service has a particularly high proportion of inbound users, it also contributes to alleviating congestion caused by luggage in tourist areas.
By partnering with JTBGMT, a leading company in the inbound travel industry, we aim to further expand the awareness and utilization of luggage storage services in Kyoto, striving to create a tourism environment where travelers and local residents can comfortably coexist.
The Sunrise Tour Desk (Kyoto Avanti B1F) is a major gathering spot for the 'Sunrise Tour', a package tour for foreign visitors to Japan planned and operated by JTBGMT, and is a hub used by many travelers. By providing Bounce's luggage storage service at this location, not only Sunrise Tour participants but also travelers sightseeing or moving around the Kyoto Station area will be able to travel hands-free during their tours or sightseeing, allowing them to enjoy Kyoto tourism even more comfortably.
Overview of the Initiative
Under this partnership, we will implement the following initiatives:
- Acceptance of luggage storage services at the Sunrise Tour Desk (Kyoto Avanti B1F)
- Introduction of Bounce luggage storage services through JTBGMT
- Promotion of 'hands-free tourism' for travelers visiting Kyoto
This allows travelers to effectively utilize their time before check-in and after check-out.
