How to Use Akihabara Lockers

• 🗺️
  Electric Town Exit — The Electric Town Exit faces Akihabara's main shopping strip. Most outside-gate lockers are clustered near this exit — ideal if you're heading straight to the shops.
• 🎫
  Outside-gate lockers — Unlike many Tokyo stations, most Akihabara lockers are outside the fare gates. You don't need a valid ticket to access them, making them convenient even if you're transferring lines.
• 💳
  Most lockers accept Suica, PASMO, credit cards, and QR payment (PayPay, etc.).
• ⏰
  Lockers are available during station operating hours (approx. 05:00–01:00). Overnight storage incurs an additional daily fee.
• 📦
  If lockers are full, nearby Bounce partner storage offers flexible same-day options in the Akihabara area — no size limit, no advance booking required.

Which Akihabara Lockers Need a Ticket?

🎫 Inside gate · 7 of 9 banks 🚪 Outside gate · 2 of 9 banks

Seven of the nine locker banks at Akihabara sit inside the ticket gates. That is fine if you are changing trains, but it catches out the many visitors who come to Akihabara for the shops rather than the railway — you cannot reach an inside-gate locker without a valid ticket or an IC card tap through the barrier.

Only two banks are reachable without entering: the one just outside the Electric Town Gate (電気街口), which is the exit for the anime and electronics district, and the one at the Showa-dori Gate (昭和通り口) on the opposite side. Those two fill up faster than the rest for exactly that reason.

If you arrive by train and plan to leave the station, decide before you tap out. Storing your bag inside the gates first — then exiting — costs nothing extra and gives you seven more banks to choose from.
