Store Your Luggage Around Narita With Bounce

Narita is a city located in Japan’s Chiba Prefecture, which lies around 60 kilometers east of the Japanese capital of Tokyo. Lying on the outskirts of central Tokyo, Narita is perhaps best known for being the site of Japan’s main international airport - Narita International Airport. For this reason, most passengers arriving at the airport who are looking to enter Japan, specifically Tokyo and nearby areas, often pass by the city. 

More often than not, the incoming visitors stop at the city for a quick layover or just skip Narita altogether to head to the more popular destinations in Japan. However, if you take the time to stop at Narita, you’ll find a visit here to be a pleasant experience. The city has a range of lovely museums, temples and several other attractions that are definitely worth stopping over for. 

Do you have a long layover and would like to get out of the airport?

Whatever your reason is for visiting lovely Narita, stay luggage-free by using Bounce.

Top Things to Do

Narita may be a small city but don’t be fooled. The city has an abundance of must-visit cultural attractions, incredible local cuisine (as do all Japanese cities), great shopping, and several other worthy spots. If you want to maximize your time in Narita, these are the things you should definitely do.

Museums

• Boso-no-Mura: If you want to get a taste of old Japan, visit the Boso-no-Mura, also known as “Boso Village.” This open-air museum is 51 hectares in size and is dedicated to showing off the local lifestyle of the Boso Region during the Edo Period by recreating a “village.” The spot is complete with workshops, merchant houses, and other elements that typically make up a village. At Boso-no-Mura, you can experience traditional activities such as papermaking, tea ceremonies and blacksmithing. (Bag policy: Large bags or luggage aren’t permitted here. Instead, drop off your stuff at a Bounce location near the area.)
• Museum of Aeronautical Sciences: This museum is situated just a short distance from the airport and is one of the most visited spots in the city, especially for those who want to pass the time during a long layover. Whether a fan of aviation or not, you will definitely find the museum interesting; there are plenty of actual planes as well as full-scale replicas on display here. The exhibits also have different plane parts and components, such as a Boeing 747 engine and landing gear. Guests can also try their hand at operating a plane through the plane stimulators and imitation cockpits. (Bag policy: Guests may bring luggage inside as there are no size limits on bags. However, if you want to avoid any inconvenience, you may deposit your luggage at a Bounce location near the museum). 
• National Museum of Japanese History: Also known locally as Rekihaku, this government-run museum is in Sakura, just a couple of minutes away from Narita. Opened in 1983, it is the only national history museum in the country and an excellent facility to visit if you want to learn the Japanese people’s history and cultural development. The museum’s collection, which focuses on Japan’s history, folk culture, and archaeology, spans six galleries and consists of several cultural artifacts and models. The National Museum of Japanese History is a great introduction to Japan, especially if you’re just starting your trip and would like to better understand the country’s heritage and culture. (Bag policy: Oversized bags are not allowed inside the facility. For a trouble-free visit, stow your luggage at a Bounce location nearby.)

Here, you will find various vendors selling products such as woven baskets, clothing, souvenirs, and custom made chopsticks.
