How to use a coin locker
Pick a locker near the exit you will use later, save its location immediately, and keep the unlock method safe.
Steps
- Choose the locker location based on your later route, not the first locker you see.
- Check size before paying so you do not repack in front of the machine.
- Save the locker number, floor, and nearby sign right away.
- Keep the key, receipt, or PIN secure until pickup.
Common mistakes
- Using a locker far from the exit you need later.
- Forgetting which station level or gate the locker was near.
- Waiting until evening for oversized luggage when large lockers are already full.

Before you pay
- Check whether you need a small, medium, or large locker.
- Confirm the pickup deadline or overnight rule shown on the machine.
- If the station is huge, take one photo of the locker area and one photo of the nearest sign.
Better locker choice
- Near the line you will use later
- Near the station exit for your hotel
- In a quieter sub-area if the main concourse is already full
If lockers are full
- Try another gate or station wing.
- Use temporary baggage storage counters if available.
- Shift to luggage forwarding or hotel storage if the bag is too large.
