Far East Village Hotel Tokyo Asakusa and Bounce Partner to Enable 'Hands-Free Stays' for Guests

Bounce, Inc. (hereinafter, Bounce), which operates the luggage storage service "Bounce" with over 35,000 locations in 4,000 cities worldwide, has announced a partnership with Far East Village Hotel Tokyo Asakusa (hereinafter, the Hotel), located in the Asakusa area.

Through this initiative, guests of the Hotel can use Bounce's city-based luggage storage and delivery services to freely enjoy the streets of Asakusa without worrying about their luggage before check-in or after check-out. This new initiative offers benefits for both travelers and the hotel, as it also helps reduce the burden of luggage handling on the hotel staff.

Background and Purpose of the Partnership

Asakusa is one of Tokyo's premier tourist destinations, attracting many domestic and international visitors to landmarks such as Kaminarimon Gate, Sensoji Temple, and Nakamise-dori Street. In recent years, with the increase in foreign tourists, there has been a rise in travelers walking around the city with large suitcases before check-in or after check-out, leading to issues such as a shortage of coin lockers and the burden of moving luggage.

Furthermore, for hotels, handling luggage storage during the time before check-in is a factor that increases the workload of front desk staff. This partnership establishes a system to solve the challenges of both the hotel and travelers by directing guests to Bounce's city-based storage locations.

Overview of the Initiative

Guests of Far East Village Hotel Tokyo Asakusa can use Bounce's luggage storage and delivery services before check-in and after check-out. By searching for and reserving a nearby storage location through the Bounce app, they can store large items like suitcases and enjoy sightseeing and shopping in Asakusa unencumbered.

Additionally, by using Bounce's luggage delivery service, guests can have their luggage sent directly to their next destination or the airport, making their travel flow smoother. The entire process, from reservation to payment, can be completed on a smartphone, and the service supports 11 languages including Japanese and English, making it easy for foreign visitors to use.

Benefits for Both Guests and the Hotel

For guests, this creates free time to fully enjoy Asakusa hands-free even before check-in. They can easily explore Kaminarimon Gate, Nakamise-dori Street, the narrow alleys around Sensoji Temple, and unique shops without being burdened by large luggage.

For the hotel, entrusting luggage storage inquiries and handling to Bounce's network allows front desk staff to focus on more essential hospitality services. This initiative simultaneously improves traveler satisfaction and enhances hotel operational efficiency.

CEO Comment (Bounce Founder & CEO Cody Candee)

"We are very pleased to begin our partnership with Far East Village Hotel Tokyo Asakusa. Providing an environment where travelers can freely enjoy the streets of Asakusa without being bound by the time constraints of hotel check-in and check-out is exactly what Bounce aims to achieve. Through this initiative that connects hotels with our city-based luggage storage network, we will realize a more comfortable and sustainable travel experience for both travelers and hotels."
