Frequently asked questions
Where can I store luggage near Shibuya Crossing?
The coin lockers inside Shibuya Station are convenient but frequently full given the crowds. A storage partner a short walk from the Hachiko exit offers reliable space for suitcases and backpacks. Drop your bags there and explore the crossing and shops hands-free.
Are there lockers at Shibuya Station?
Yes, there are coin lockers throughout Shibuya Station, but demand is high and large ones fill early in the day. If you cannot find a free locker, a nearby bag-drop partner guarantees space. This saves you hunting across multiple exits.
Can I explore Shibuya with my luggage?
You can, but Shibuya's crowded sidewalks and the scramble crossing itself make wheeling a suitcase awkward and slow. Storing your bags nearby lets you enjoy the shops, cafes, and views comfortably. It also makes hopping to Harajuku or Shinjuku afterward much easier.
