How to Use Tokyo Station Lockers

About Tokyo Station

Luggage Storage at Tokyo Station

Tokyo Station is Japan's most iconic railway terminal and the primary gateway to the Shinkansen bullet train network connecting Tokyo with Osaka, Kyoto, Hiroshima, and beyond. Serving around 450,000 passengers daily via JR and Tokyo Metro lines, it's one of the most important transit hubs in the country.

With 26 locker locations spread across its vast complex, Tokyo Station is exceptionally well-equipped for luggage storage. Lockers are available on both the Marunouchi side (west, facing the Imperial Palace) and the Yaesu side (east, facing Nihonbashi). The green markers indicate lockers inside the ticket gates; blue markers are outside.

The station's underground Yaesu side generally has more locker availability than the Marunouchi side, which tends to fill up faster due to tourist traffic. Checking availability in advance is especially important on weekends and public holidays.
