Lockers in Japan — Quick Guide
Dragging a suitcase through crowded stations, temples or narrow shopping streets can ruin a travel day, which is why Japan's coin lockers are such a beloved institution. Nearly every train station has banks of lockers in several sizes — small ones from around 300 to 400 yen per day, and large suitcase-sized lockers for 700 to 1,000 yen. Modern lockers accept IC cards such as Suica or Pasmo alongside coins, and busy hubs like Tokyo, Shinjuku and Kyoto stations also offer staffed luggage storage counters when lockers fill up. Lockers near main exits go fast on weekends, so checking side entrances or basement floors is a useful trick. This page finds coin lockers and luggage storage around your current location and points a compass at the nearest option, with the distance and walking time. Open Google Maps directions, or ask our AI assistant about storing oversized bags or multi-day luggage.

What if all the coin lockers at a station are full?
Try locker banks at less busy exits or basement levels first, as the ones by main gates fill up quickest. Major stations also have staffed luggage storage counters, and some hotels will hold bags for guests before check-in and after check-out.
