Does Shibuya station have lockers?

Many coin lockers can be found outside the JR Shibuya Station. Particularly between the Hachiko Exit and Western Exit you'll find a large number of these coin lockers along the walls.



Yes, Shibuya Station is equipped with hundreds of coin and IC-card lockers across multiple levels, though they are often in high demand. Major concentrations of lockers can be found near the Hachiko Exit, the New South Gate, and in the underground passages connecting the Tokyu and Keio lines. In 2026, most lockers are "Smart Lockers" that accept Pasmo or Suica cards for payment rather than physical coins. Because these fill up quickly, many travelers now use "Cloak" apps like ecbo cloak, which allow you to reserve luggage storage space in nearby cafes, shops, or even karaoke boxes (like Karaoke Manekineko) for a flat daily fee. This is often more reliable than hunting for an empty locker during peak hours in the world's busiest district. Prices generally range from 400 yen for a small bag to 900 yen for a large suitcase.
