Kyoto Station is the main entry point for most visitors to the city: Shinkansen arrivals from Tokyo, airport limousine buses from Kansai International, and local JR and subway lines all converge here. And almost every traveler who arrives has the same immediate problem: what to do with their luggage.

Here are the best options for luggage storage near Kyoto Station, from coin lockers to same-day delivery.

Coin Lockers at Kyoto Station

Kyoto Station has a large number of coin-operated luggage lockers spread across multiple floors and buildings. Sizes range from small (for a day bag) to large (for full suitcases). Prices typically run from 300 to 700 yen per locker per day, depending on size.

The limitations: lockers fill fast in peak season (March to May, October to November), you have to return to the station to retrieve your bags, and larger groups often find themselves without matching sizes.

Luggage Storage Facilities Near Kyoto Station

Several paid luggage storage services operate within walking distance of Kyoto Station, typically on the Hachijo-guchi (south) side. These accept larger items and usually have more flexible hours than station lockers.

KOMATSU Luggage Storage

KOMATSU operates a luggage storage facility in Shimogyo Ward, approximately 15 minutes on foot from Kyoto Station. It accepts same-day drop-ins without a reservation, as well as advance bookings, and handles overnight to long-term storage.

The address is 495 Daiku-cho, Shimogyo-ku, Kyoto.

KOMATSU accepts only one group per day, so it fills up quickly. If it is fully booked, or if you need to drop your bags off on the day, Radical Storage is a useful alternative, with partner locations around Kyoto where you can book storage online.

Same-Day Luggage Delivery: The Better Option

If you are arriving at Kyoto Station with bags you need to move to a hotel somewhere else in the city, same-day luggage delivery is often the better solution. Rather than leaving your bags at a storage point and collecting them again later, KOMATSU delivers them directly to your hotel or Airbnb while you explore.

Delivery starts from 900 yen per bag. No prepayment required. Your bags arrive at check-in time, or earlier if arranged.

What to Look for in Any Storage Option

Check three things before you commit: how long it is open, whether it takes large bags, and whether you can drop in without a reservation. A locker that closes early is no help for a late train, and a small locker is no help for a big suitcase.

Overnight and Long-Term Storage

KOMATSU storage covers a single night as well as longer stays, and it works well alongside delivery. Some travelers drop their bags on arrival, then book delivery to the hotel for later in the day.

Booking and Payment

Book through the form on kyotoluggage.com or message KOMATSU on LINE. No prepayment is needed. You can pay by cash, PayPay, PayPal or Alipay, or pay by card online after booking.

Booking Your Kyoto Accommodation

Whether you are arriving by Shinkansen from Tokyo or flying into Kansai International, having a confirmed hotel address makes every logistical step easier. That includes arranging luggage delivery.
