Coin lockers at Ueno Station
Tokyo — Ueno and Asakusa side
Ueno spreads its lockers across nineteen locations and three operators: eleven JR banks, five on the Tokyo Metro Hibiya and Ginza lines and three at Keisei Ueno, which is where the Skyliner from Narita arrives.
Prices run about ¥300 for the smallest slot, ¥400 to ¥500 small, ¥500 to ¥700 medium, ¥700 to ¥900 large and ¥1,000 to ¥1,100 for the extra-large class, which is available at most JR banks here and at several Metro banks — better coverage than most Tokyo stations.
Payment is cash plus Suica or PASMO at nearly every bank, and some also take Edy, iD, QUICPay, Alipay, WeChat Pay and PayPay.
Sizes you will find here
| Class | Inside W × D × H (cm) | Typical price per day | What it holds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Extra small (SS) | 13 × 57 × 32 | ¥300–400 | A day bag or a laptop sleeve, nothing on wheels. |
| Small (S) | 34 × 57 × 32 | ¥400–600 | A backpack or a soft holdall. Most cabin cases are too wide. |
| Medium (M) | 34 × 57 × 50 | ¥500–800 | A cabin suitcase up to roughly 22 inches, laid on its back. |
| Large (L) | 34 × 57 × 84 | ¥700–1000 | A checked case up to roughly 28 inches if its depth with wheels is under 33 cm. |
| Extra large (LL) | 34 × 57 × 113 | ¥800–1200 | The tall cabinets for oversized cases, skis and boards. Not at every bank. |
These are the common cabinet sizes, not a guarantee for this station: operators buy their own cabinets and even publish the figures as approximate. Measure your case and check it in the size checker before you count on a locker.
If the lockers are full
- The Keisei Ueno side is the quietest of the three operators, and it is the natural place to leave a bag if you are heading to the park or the museums.
- ecbo cloak covers Ameyoko and the Asakusa direction well.
- If you arrive on the Skyliner with a large case, consider sending it from Narita instead — the airport counter is easier than carrying it through Ueno.
This site does not show live locker availability. Several operators run their own vacancy search — look for the "locker concierge" screens in the concourse, or ask at the information counter.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a coin locker cost at Ueno Station?
Expect roughly ¥300 for the smallest size and up to about ¥1200 for the largest, per calendar day rather than per 24 hours. Prices are set per bank of lockers, so two banks in the same station can differ, and some operators raise them in peak seasons.
Will a large suitcase fit a locker at Ueno Station?
The large cabinets are about 34 × 57 × 84 cm inside, which takes a case up to roughly 28 inches if you lay it on its back and its depth including the wheels is under about 33 cm. Anything bigger needs an extra-large cabinet, which not every bank has, or a staffed counter.
What if every locker is full?
Full lockers are normal at Ueno Station from mid-morning onwards in peak seasons. The reliable fallbacks are a staffed baggage room, a storage service such as ecbo cloak that books a café or shop by the day, or sending the case to your next hotel by takkyubin so you do not have to carry it at all.
