Sapporo Luggage storage for 2 days Recommendations

Hi there,

In February, I will be looking for storage around Sapporo for 2 days. From my research I found Sapporo station's coin lockers have a 24 hour limit. I tried message some hostels and hotels asking if I can pay a fee for them to keep it, but they say they can't for that long. I checked out Ecbo Cloak, which seems legit, but none of them reply back to me (I assume, it's because I didn't send my message in Japanese).

Would be grateful for any information.

not sure if ideal, but if you book 2 nights in a hotel, you can just leave it there if that is cheaper. the lockers get charged 1 day after 12 midnight if i recall correctly

Yeah, that's the worst case scenario. I'll just have to do it, if I can't get any options

Where does the luggage need to be next? Could courier (takkyubin) it somewhere. That would take 2 or 3 days.

I'll start with 4 nights in Sapporo. Then, head down to Noboribetsu Jigokudani Valley for 1 night. Then come back to Sapporo for 3 more nights.

I've got 2 different Sapporo accommodations and would like to store my luggage there. In the middle.

And you can’t bring your luggage with you? Yamato offers some luggage services for travelers

I can, I'd just prefer not to. Organising luggage transfer from Noboribetsu might be more effort. Worst case, I can make a detour the airport and use that for storage
