01/24/2017
There are a lot of lockers in Shinjuku Station. Even people who used Shinjuku station often, we also do not know how many lockers are provided. Moreover, a lot of people are thinking this way.
“Most lockers are not open...”
However, this is only a place that is easy to see. Today, I want to focus on how to find the lockers, how to use, and which one I recommend!
For Those Who Is Intellectual Type： “Coin Locker Navi”
The coin lockers in JR station can use normally during from first to until last train. It is good for people who want to leave the baggage for long hours than luggage counters.
Where should I go in this large Shinjuku station?
In this kind of case, “Coin Locker Navi” is helpful!

Actually, near one in each central east exit and south exit, there is an empty locker search panel is installed! As same as above, you can search without using your phone.
If you want to know the locker status, please check before you exit the station.
■How to use the coin locker
There are old type lockers that you put the 100 coins and turn the key to lock, but recently IC lockers has also increased, and Suica and IC cards are replaces the key. Although, IC lockers can also accept cash!
This are the 2 different IC lockers！

Put your belonging in the locker and closed it, after put the lever down.
→Than the operation panel reacts, the location of your locker (number) displayed.
(Please check the number with your locker on the door!)
→If it is correct, go to the checkout screen.
②Without the lever
After you put your belongings, closed the door tightly.

→If it is correct, go to the checkout screen.
★Both type can be paid by IC cards or cash.
★The display languages can be changed.
★If you are paying by cash, the receipt (QR code or digit numbers) will be the key, so please do not lost your receipt!

If you exit JR Shinjuku West exit, you can see there is a place like mid 2nd level (the cafe with glass window) in the front. It is hard to recognize from the ticket entrance, but the whole area there is all coin lockers.

・Shinjuku West Exit Front of Yodobashi Camera (Cash only)
24 hours / 8 hours system
S 200yen M 300yen L 500yen LL 700yen
I recommend here for people who want to storage the baggage somewhere from midnight to early morning. Most of the lockers provided in the station is per day (it changed the date at 2am) , and can not able to use it during from the last train until the first train starts. Although, this one is available for 24 hours. It will be charged every 8 hours, so it is convenient for people for a short period of time.
・Lockers in East exit: inside the ticket gate ( IC card＆cash）From first train〜last train
S 400yen M 500yen L 600yen
From the center East exit to East exit, there are a lot of lockers everywhere. There are lockers that can be fit only large luggages, but depends there are medium size, and small size to put your backpack and small things. The searching machine is located besides the center East exit ticket gate.
・East exit Taxi stand（Cash only）From first train〜last train
S 400yen M 500yen L 600yen
I feel it is comparatively opened maybe because it located outside of the station. Here, only accept cash.
Other than that, there are lockers near by ticket gates in the Tokyo Metro and Toei Subway Line. Moreover, there are also few coin lockers on the street. If you are looking for coin lockers, please check the words or a sign of “Coin Locker!”
