【How to use baggage storage services】
While coin lockers are probably the easiest option to free yourself from lugging around suitcases or other bulky travel items, there's no harm in learning about temporary baggage storage services.
In many cases, they can store extra-large items (that won't fit into lockers) for more than a day and you can access your baggage as often as you like. -
