In this article we will show you where to find lockers in Osaka Station, show you how to use them, and give you more details about staffed luggage storage.

Where to Find Lockers in Osaka Station

Lockers are located on the 1st and 3rd floors of the Osaka Station building. Please refer to the Osaka Station Map page to follow these directions.

Lockers by the Central Concourse

The greatest number of lockers are located close by the Central Concourse. If you walk directly across from the Central Gate ticket gates, you should see a big green sign for the ticket office and a passage that runs alongside it. Go straight ahead through that passage. The lockers are located directly across from the ticket gates and behind the ticket office.

Lockers by Hotel Granvia Osaka

These lockers are located near Hotel Granvia Osaka on the southern end of the Central Concourse.

Lockers by the Sakurabashi Gate

On the map this gate is located in the bottom left hand corner of the building. The lockers here are easy to find as they are directly across from the gates.

There are also a lot of lockers by the exit from the building here.

Lockers by the South Gate

On the map this is located in the bottom right hand corner of the building. The lockers here are just across from the gate.

Lockers by the Midosuji Gate

These lockers are located by the Midosuji North Gate, which on the map is located in the top right corner of the building.

Lockers by the JR Expressway Bus Terminal

You can find the JR Expressway Bus Terminal by exiting the north side of the Central Concourse. Turn left and you will find a small number of lockers on the left hand side.

Lockers by the Bridge Gate

The Bridge Gate is located on the 3rd floor of Osaka Station. The lockers here are a little harder to find but there are signs. Walk towards the north side of the building and you will see the Osaka Station City Information Center. Go past it and turn right. The lockers are around a corner just across from the Lucua shopping center.

Additional Lockers near the Grand Front Osaka Walkway

These lockers are a little harder to find, and their location is rather inconvenient if you are using the main ticket gates. They are located across from the JR Expressway Bus Terminal, directly underneath the walkway that leads to the Grand Front Osaka shopping complex. They are useful to know about if the more obvious locker banks near the gates are full.

How to Use Osaka Station Lockers

Lockers come in several sizes and are priced accordingly. Standard lockers commonly start around 400 yen for small lockers, 500 yen for medium lockers, and 700 yen for large lockers, but prices vary by locker bank, location, and locker type. Check the posted price before you put your luggage inside.

These charges are usually for one use and for one day. Extra charges apply after the locker bank’s posted daily reset time. Many JR Osaka Station lockers use a 2:00 am reset, while some lockers on the south side have used midnight, but you should check the instructions on the locker screen or label before leaving your bags.

Many lockers in Osaka Station use a fully automated keyless system with a central control panel for each bank of lockers. These are actually quite easy to use as you can select your language on the control panel’s touch screen and then read a series of step-by-step instructions.

First put your luggage into a free locker and pull down the locker tab so that it shows red.

The touch panel will then ask you to select your locker with free lockers highlighted in green. In this case only one locker was free.

After selecting your locker you can usually pay either with an IC card or with cash, though payment methods vary by locker bank.

Many machines accept coins or a 1,000 yen note, in which case the machine will give you change. The machine will also give you a receipt which you should keep and look after carefully.

If you pay with cash the machine will give you a Baggage Removal Ticket which will act as your key when you return to collect your luggage. If you pay with an IC card, you can use the card as a key to open your locker.

Some lockers still use old-fashioned keys, especially smaller or older locker banks. Simply put your coins into the coin slot on your locker, turn the key, and remember to keep the key with you. Always follow the instructions on the locker itself, as locker types can change.

Luggage Storage at Crosta Osaka

If your luggage is too bulky for a locker or you cannot find an empty locker, you can leave it at Crosta Osaka, the staffed luggage storage counter on the 1st floor of JR Osaka Station. It is outside the ticket gates, on the north-central side of the station near the Central Gate. If you turn right at the top of the Central Concourse and go past TiS Osaka and Nippon Travel Agency, you will find the counter next to Nippon Travel Agency.

Crosta Osaka’s temporary luggage storage service is listed at 1,000 JPY per piece per day, with service hours from 9:00 to 20:00. Crosta also offers carry service between Osaka Station and supported Osaka City hotels at 2,000 yen per piece. Opening hours and services can change, so check the Crosta Osaka official page before relying on the counter for a tight schedule.

During weekends, holidays, and long vacation periods, lockers and staffed storage counters can become crowded or full. Crosta Osaka may temporarily stop accepting luggage when it reaches capacity, so allow extra time if you are trying to store bags before a train, hotel check-in, or sightseeing plan.

Crosta Osaka cannot accept some items, including items longer than 2 meters or over 30 kg, bicycles, valuables, electronic devices, fragile or perishable items, animals, dangerous goods, refrigerated items, and liquid containers. If Crosta Osaka is full, nearby travel-agency counters such as TiS Osaka or TiS Umeda may also offer luggage storage, but availability and hours should be checked on the day.

You can also check current locker availability on the Osaka Station City coin locker page before walking around the station with heavy bags.
