Long-ish term storage

Hi,

I need to store some stuff (probably a large duffel bag although I may add a snowboard etc. to that at some point) for around a month. Although there are storage facilities at Narita (http://www.narita-airport.jp/en/guide/service/list/svc_06.ht...) I am hoping someone knows of a facility in central Tokyo. Ideally a big locker thing that I can access whenever I need to. Something like this - www.bigyellow.co.uk - would be great.

All advice would be appreciated!

Also, I have heard a rumour there is an ex-pats helpline run by some nice ladies in Ginza - don't suppose anyone knows the number?! Figured they would also be good people to ask!

Thanks very much.

Hi,

I have since found out that I have a job in Japan, starting next March. Therefore my need to store stuff is even more pressing (there is a bunch of stuff I really don't need to cart back to England) so I am bumping this up in the hope that someone can help me.

Thanks very much!

Well, in the interests of closure (and for the benefit of anyone else searching!) I have finally managed to track down answers to both my questions. Whilst talking to myself makes me feel insane, I will tell you (me) then answers anyway ;)

The ex-pats helpline details are below:

Tokyo Metropolitan Foreign Residents' Advisory Center
Hours: 9:30~12:00, 13:00~16:00
English: Monday to Friday Tel 5320-7744

They advised me to go to www.quraz.com which have several locations around Tokyo and cost from 4,500�� per month (more if you have any large things to store).

However, they do not speak English so you will need to be accompanied by a Japanese person, or a Japanese speaker.

Woo - closure complete!
