Luggage storage Ueno area Sun 5 Nov

Anyone got suggestions of where to store luggage tomorrow (Sun Nov 5) around Ueno? The lockers are unavailable due to Trump's visit. My brother and his girlfriend fly out tomorrow night but need to store luggage somewhere during the day. They're lodging at an airbnb so it's not as simple as leaving bags at a hotel reception. Will there be any luggage rooms available somewhere near Ueno?

I presume wanting to leave their bags at Ueno they are catching the airport train from that point?
I only ask because I always catch an airport limousine bus (travel with a child) from Sunshine City Prince hotel at Ikebukuro and even though I'm usually not staying at that hotel because I have a ticket on the PM bus to the airport I can lodge my luggage with the hotel bus service on the morning of travel.
Would that be an alternative?

Thanks Jojo. Yeah they're staying in Ueno as well as catching the Skyliner. I'll pass on your suggestion.

Luggage delivery to the airport requires two days; it is not a same-day service.
There are many luggage storage facilities available in Tokyo; Google should be able to find them easily enough. I usually use the one at the Marunouchi entrance to Tokyo Station - 600 yen for all-day storage.

Yes I've already sent them the link for the Tokyo Station luggage room. Just wanted to find out if there's any other options closer to Ueno. Also I don't know if they'd be at capacity given the locker closures. That sort of info isn't readily available via google and requires insight of a local.

At first, bad news for them: also some luggage storage rooms (including the one in JR EAST Travel Service Center in Tokyo Station outside the Marunouchi North Gate) seem to be closed for the same reason, in and near major railroad stations in Tokyo's urban areas, at least until November 7. According to a report written in Japanese, the travelers' baggage storage center of Sagawa Express in Tokyo Skytree Town will be available on November 5, though the facility may not be capable due to the capacity; its three other storage centers in Tokyo will be closed. (Sagawa Express is a delivery service provider.) - Source (in Japanese): http://coinlocker.click/tokyo-information1.html#8: Information on this webpage may change shortly. - Details of the storage center in Tokyo Skytree Town's Tokyo Solamachi http://www.sagawa-exp.co.jp/ttk/english/servicecenter/skytree.htmlIn Kita-senju Station(s), coin lockers along the south pathway outside the south gates might not be closed. - Tobu Railway: Map (mainly in Japanese) of Kita-senju Station http://railway.tobu.co.jp/guide/station/insidemap/1204.html- JR-East: Map of Kita-Senju Station https://www.jreast.co.jp/e/stations/e571.htmlThe south gates of Tobu Railway, of Tsukuba Express and of JR are at the upper left of the first map and in the right half of the second map. You see a pictogram for coin lockers between the JR South Gate and the nearby elevator.
