Luggage
Put the bag down. Enjoy the event.
A suitcase is dead weight at a festival, a match or a gig. Japan gives you three good ways to be rid of it for the day: a coin locker at the station, a booked counter in a shop, and the venue's own arrangements. This page sets out how each one works, what it costs, and where the per-venue details live.
Three ways to store a bag
Coin lockers are the default: cheap, instant, and inside the station you are already passing through. Booked storage, through ecbo cloak or Bounce, costs a little more and buys certainty, because the space is reserved before you arrive and a suitcase that fits no locker still fits behind a shop counter. Venue cloakrooms are the third way, and they vary too much to generalise: our venue fact sheets record what each venue on this calendar actually offers.
Station coin lockers
JR East, whose stations cover Tokyo and the north, publishes sample locker sizes in its locker guide: all are 34 cm wide and 57 cm deep, in heights of roughly 35 cm (standard), 55 cm (midsize), 84 cm (large) and 103 cm (extra large). The guide's sample prices run from ¥300 (about US$2) for a standard locker to ¥600 (about US$4) for the extra large. Busy central stations charge more than the samples: at Tokyo Station, JR East's station guide puts a large locker at about ¥900 to ¥1,000 (about US$6) a day.
The fee buys one calendar day, not 24 hours, and JR East group lockers hold a bag for at most three days. Many lockers take an IC card such as Suica as both payment and key. The large sizes are always the first to go on an event day, so if the bag must be stored, store it early, or book instead: some stations have bookable lockers, JR East's Multi Ecube among them, that can be reserved ahead.
ecbo cloak: storage behind a shop counter
ecbo cloak is the Japanese network built for exactly this: you book and pay in advance in its app or on its website, then hand the bag over at a partner counter, a cafe, a station shop, a post office, or, since late 2025, a 7-Eleven. Prices are per bag per day: ¥500 (about US$3) for a bag whose longest side is 45 cm or less, ¥800 (about US$5) for suitcase size, the prices Seven-Eleven Japan announced when the service launched in its stores. ecbo says its network passed 3,500 locations across Japan in 2026, including more than 1,200 7-Eleven stores, which makes it the densest option outside the big stations.
Bounce: booked storage near the venue
Bounce works the same way, in English, through its app and website: local shops and hotels near stations and venues take your bag, the price is per bag per day, and the exact address is given when you book. Its Tokyo listings start from ¥275 (about US$2) per bag per day. It is the service our venue fact sheets use for the storage point nearest each venue.

At the venue itself
Some venues run their own cloakrooms and some ban big bags outright. The per-venue position, doors, bag rules, cloakroom, last trains and the nearest storage point with its price, is on our venue fact sheets.
