Hiroshima Castle grounds and Sannomaru luggage storage
Enjoy Hiroshima Castle’s grounds and Sannomaru with less to carry. Send the spare suitcase from your hotel to Silk Crane, explore with a smaller bag and arrange delivery at a later stop. Monthly and annual storage plans are available, with shipping charged separately. The castle keep closed on March 22, 2026; plan this visit around its exterior and the areas that remain open.
Choose storage for your Hiroshima trip
A castle-area walk between city stays
Imagine a Hiroshima stop before moving through several more cities with a compact bag. You send your larger suitcase from the hotel to Silk Crane and arrange its delivery where you will next need the spare clothes and purchases.
You visit the castle grounds with a small bag, enjoying views across the moat and time around Sannomaru. The plan is an outdoor castle-area outing, with no expectation of entering the closed keep.
Store a same-day case before the castle walk
For a bag needed again later today, compare your hotel’s agreed holding with Kencho-mae Station lockers. Astram confirms lockers there, with published access from 6 a.m. to midnight. Check fit and availability before relying on a compartment.
A case left at the station creates a return there. If your day instead ends at Hiroshima Station, holding at that rail hub may fit better. Do not rely on a general castle luggage desk without confirming a specific service first.
Plan for the exterior, Ninomaru and Sannomaru
The castle’s official closure notice confirms the keep’s March 22, 2026 closure and identifies the exterior, Ninomaru and Sannomaru facilities as remaining attractions. The closed keep should not be included as an indoor visit in your itinerary.
Use the current castle grounds map and current facility notices to shape the day. Leave time for the return to your locker or hotel before your onward journey; separate facility hours from storage access.
Send the extra case and arrange its return
Book your storage plan and follow the sending instructions. Ask your hotel front desk to help arrange the shipment, or use a convenience store that accepts it or a Yamato service center. Keep documents, medicine and everything needed during shipping with you.
Silk Crane receives shipped belongings for monthly or annual storage and later delivery. Shipping is charged separately. Before sending, confirm that your later hotel can receive the case and plan your luggage delivery dates around Hiroshima. The storage and shipping cost guide explains the separate charges.
