How it's used
Refers specifically to large scale industrial or commercial storage facilities. While it shares the meaning of storage with 倉, it carries a more formal tone and implies a larger physical structure. In modern urban contexts, it is often associated with logistics or wholesale operations rather than small personal storage.
