Any long-term storage solutions for those without a zairyu card?

I plan on coming back to Osaka for two years on the working holiday visa in May. I am currently backpacking in Japan.

Considering I don't currently have residency, is there a storage solution that'll let me store about a large backpack's worth of belongings here? Ideally it'd be a small locker or storage unit (<=1 tatami in size) that I could use to store clothes and some small items so I don't have to constantly carry them back and forth between Osaka and Alberta or Quebec.

When travelling between Calgary and Montreal, I'm able to just pack the bare essentials. A change of socks, toothbrush, passport, a hat, etc., and be on my way – and I'd like to make it so that I can travel just as or near as light to Japan as well.

For reference, Quraz requires a Japanese drivers license, health insurance card, or a zairyu card to be able to rent one of their units.

Thank you so much in advance. Open to all ideas!
