Japan Hands-Free Tourism: Where to Find Coin Lockers in Tokyo?

Date published: 20 November 2019

Coin lockers can be found at pretty much any station in Tokyo, usually installed just next to ticket gates and underground passages, but also near busy streets and department stores. The only problem is: the coin lockers in the busiest places are almost always full! Worry not, though, as Tokyo has many secret coin locker hot spots that are often surprisingly close to popular locations!

Coin Lockers at Tokyo’s Main Stations and Sightseeing Spots

Coin lockers at Ikebukuro Station. They line the passages of the station premises.

We compiled a list of Tokyo’s main stations and the number of their coin lockers, based on information of the website “Coin Locker Navi” that features locations, sizes, and fees of coin lockers mainly in Tokyo and Osaka.
Check below to get an overview of which stations offer a lot of coin lockers, along with useful information like extra-large sizes.

Shinjuku Station
Shinjuku Station boasts the world’s most passengers per day – and within Tokyo, it is also the station with the most coin lockers. They are set up at various places, such as on the premises of JR, Odakyu, Keio, or Tokyo Metro, as well as around ticket gates, passages, the West Exit underground plaza, and more. The sizes vary by location, with some “small size only” coin lockers here and there.

Tokyo Station
Tokyo Station is famous for its many Shinkansen connections, on top of being served by the JR Yamanote Line and the Chuo Line. When it comes to ticket gates, the lockers along the central passage on the first underground floor are particularly busy and not likely to be vacant. Go for the coin lockers at the north passage and the underground passage a little further – it’s much less crowded there.

Ueno Station
JR Ueno Station features several coin locker spots, both within and outside of the ticket gates. Their characteristic is that they are remarkably big, despite their large numbers. We especially recommend the coin lockers outside the ticket gates at Keisei Ueno Station (approx. 1 minute away from JR Ueno Station) where the Keisei Skyliner arrives. Seventy large-size coin lockers can be found there!

Let’s take a look at websites and apps informing you about coin locker locations, their vacancy, and all sorts of other useful tips and tricks. Also, “storage facilities” will come in handy when there’s no coin locker available!

Suica Coin Locker Search

Use the Suica Coin Locker Search at Tokyo Station, Shinjuku Station, Ikebukuro Station, and Shinagawa Station for real-time information about coin locker vacancy around you. The icon on the digital map is green if there are many coin lockers ready to use and turns to orange once there are less vacant lockers available. If you touch the icon, you can check the vacancy by size and also see the access route from your current location.
