"Where are the empty coin lockers?!" 😱
“Where are the empty coin lockers?!” 😱 “I can’t find a place for my large suitcase!”
If you’re visiting Shibuya, you’ve probably faced the “Luggage Storage Crisis” at least once. With the complex “Shibuya Dungeon” station structure and endless crowds, finding an empty locker is harder than finding a hidden gem restaurant.
But don’t worry! As a Tokyo local, I’ve compiled the ultimate guide to Shibuya luggage storage to save you from wandering around with heavy bags. From secret locker spots to apps that guarantee a spot, here is everything you need to know!
1. Finding Coin Lockers in Shibuya Station (Difficulty: ⭐⭐⭐⭐)
First, let’s look at the coin lockers within JR and Metro Shibuya Station.
⚠️ Warning: Most convenient locations (near Hachiko Gate) are almost always full from the morning. If you see an empty spot, grab it immediately!
🔑 Key Tips for Coin Lockers
- Payment: Most accept IC Cards (Suica/Pasmo) and cash (100 yen coins).
- Prices: Small (400-500 yen) / Medium (600-700 yen) / Large (800-1000 yen).
- Time Limit: Usually up to 3 days (charges apply every 24 hours, often resetting at midnight/2AM).
📌 Pro Tip: Check Real-Time Availability!
Don’t waste time wandering around! Check where the empty lockers are before you go.

2. Shibuya Mark City (The “Hidden Gem” Spot) 🧡

Why choose Mark City?
- Accessibility: Direct access from the “Avenue of Wisdom” (West Exit area).
- Convenience: Located near the Highway Bus Terminal (5F), making it perfect for travelers heading to the airport.

6. Tips for Night Owls & Early Birds (24H Storage) 🌙
Late-night flight or early morning bus? Avoid station coin lockers! Most station areas close their shutters after the last train (around 12:30 AM), meaning you won’t be able to retrieve your bag until morning.
✅ 24-Hour Solutions:
- Use Bounce App: Book a 24-hour Karaoke (like Big Echo) or Manga Cafe.
- Mega Don Quijote: Has lockers for shoppers, but they are extremely competitive.
- Caution: Street lockers are open 24/7 but can be less secure. Stick to manned facilities via apps if possible.
