my attempt for what it's worth, I can't guarantee 100% accuracy.
xx月xx日からxx月xx日までnameホテルに泊まるつもりです。
I intend to stay at Hotel XX from xx until xx .
xx月xx日にplaceに行って来ます。
On xx date I am going to go to xxplace (and come back)
XXに1泊だけ泊まります。
I will only stay 1 night in XX.
そして、xx月xx日にnameホテルに戻て3泊するつもりです。
and then I will return to Hotel XX on xx date and intend to stay for 3 (more) nights.
xx月xx日にnameホテルに私の(大きな)荷物を1泊預けて来てもいいですか?
On xx date, may I deposit my (large) luggage at Hotel XX for 1 night (and come back)?
I'm not sure whether you'd ask if it's possible or if you'd ask for permission to do this.
預けて来てもいいですか? is it ok to deposit and come back
預けて来る事ができますか? is it possible to deposit and come back
Translations aside, I doubt it would be a problem. You could even ask when you get there. I've done it myself before and when I came back my luggage was waiting for me in my room.
If for some reason it isn't possible. (unlikely) left luggage at train stations is about 600円 to 800円 per piece of luggage I think. Check opening times.
Coin lockers are also a possibility but I never figured out how periods over 24 hours worked. I *think* it's just a case of putting the extra money in. There is a 3 day limit though, where they'll empty the locker. I have a photo of the instructions somewhere I must have another look.
It might be worth writing the request in English as well as Japanese. There's always a chance someone will have some reading ability in English to smooth over your Japanese.
