Search by luggage size
Enter your bag's outside dimensions to find stations with a locker it fits in. We judge by the inside dimensions operators publish, not by size names like "L" — one operator's L is 86 cm tall, another's is barely over 50 cm.

How bag types compare
| Bag | Outside size | Stations | Lockers | Cheapest |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Backpack (about 30 L) | 50×32×20cm | 358 of 427 | 101,032 | ¥500 (Futako-tamagawa Station) |
| Carry-on suitcase | 55×40×25cm | 356 of 427 | 59,367 | ¥600 (Hiyoshi Station) |
| Medium checked suitcase (60–70 L) | 67×47×28cm | 350 of 427 | 33,376 | ¥900 (Hiyoshi Station) |
| Large checked suitcase (80 L+) | 75×52×30cm | 350 of 427 | 33,376 | ¥900 (Hiyoshi Station) |
Medium and large checked suitcases come out the same. Both only fit the L-size lockers around 86 cm tall; neither fits the M size below it (50 cm). Going up one bag size roughly halves the number of lockers you can use.

Stations where no suitcase fits
At these 2 stations, none of the lockers with published inside sizes takes even a carry-on suitcase.
Another 69 stations publish no inside sizes at all, so we cannot tell (Tokyo Metro's price-band lockers, for example). Check on site.

How we judge
- We sort the three sides of the bag and of the locker from shortest to longest. If every side of the bag is no longer than the matching side of the locker, it fits. The bag may stand or lie flat; we don't count fitting it in diagonally.
- Bags are compared by outside size, including wheels and handles. The sizes in the table are typical; the same capacity varies by product.
- Where a locker's inside size is given as a range (e.g. 843–1135 mm tall), we use the smaller figure.
- Lockers that don't publish an inside size are left out.
