Can I leave my luggage at Osaka station?

If you need to store your luggage at Osaka Station, you should have no problem. There are lockers at many locations, but mostly they are located close by the ticket gates. They come in a range of sizes at fees of 300, 500 and 700 yen, and most of the lockers will give you change for a 1000 yen note.



Yes, you have multiple convenient options for luggage storage at Osaka Station in 2026. The most common method is the coin lockers, which are located throughout the 1st and 3rd floors, particularly near the Central, Midosuji, and Sakurabashi gates. These lockers come in three sizes (Small, Medium, and Large) and typically cost between ¥400 and ¥1,000 for a 24-hour period. In 2026, most lockers are "smart" and can be paid for with an IC card (like Suica or Icoca) or cash. If your bags are too large for a locker, there is a Baggage Room (Tenimotsu-ichiji-azukarisho) on the 1st floor near the Central Concourse that stays open from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Additionally, the app-based service ecbo cloak is very popular in 2026; it allows you to reserve storage space in nearby cafes or shops around the station, which is a lifesaver during peak travel seasons when station lockers are often full. Just be sure to retrieve your items before the baggage room or cafe closes to avoid having to wait until the next day.
