Coin Lockers (コインロッカー) are convenient for travellers. Some train do not have enough space for stowing your luggage or even some train stations do not have escalators or elevators. This may a big problem especially woman, right? Coin Lockers have various size. Price is varied but some station do not provide coin lockers for big luggage and coin lockers of some stations are full especially the big station. Luggage can be kept in lockers maximum 3 days and have additional charge for keeping overnight.
