Have you ever arrived at Kyoto Station carrying oversized luggage, such as musical instruments, cosplay costumes, photography equipment , or even a bike bag for your road bike?
Kyoto Station has many coin lockers, but it's a common tragedy when you try to put your belongings in and they get stuck by just a few centimeters! 😭
Even major shipping companies' parcel storage facilities may refuse to accept packages that exceed the specified size limits .
This article explains the actual locker sizes at Kyoto Station and how to reliably store oversized luggage that doesn't meet the regulations .
📌 Kyoto Station Coin Locker Size Chart: Will your large luggage fit?
First, determine whether the luggage you've brought will fit into a standard coin locker .
✔️ Specific dimensions and precautions for large and extra-large sizes
The typical dimensions of the "extra-large" coin lockers at Kyoto Station are approximately 113cm high x 34cm wide x 57cm deep.
However, the extra-large size is extremely limited in number and is always in high demand. Carry-on cases that are even slightly wider or equipment that is long vertically are highly likely to not fit.
✔️ The difficulty of carrying oddly shaped items such as musical instruments and strollers.
Musical instruments such as guitars and cellos, non-folding strollers, and photography equipment such as tripods often simply cannot fit into rectangular lockers .
Forcing it in can cause damage, and there's a risk of breaking your valuable items...
📌 What kinds of packages are most likely to be refused by major storage facilities and delivery services?
If your luggage doesn't fit in a locker, you'll need to find a manned luggage storage facility, but even there, caution is necessary.
✔️ Major luggage storage facilities with strict size regulations
The luggage storage facilities operated by major shipping companies located within train stations have strict regulations regarding the total size (length + width + height) and weight of luggage .
Musical instruments, long items, and non-foldable strollers are often refused for storage due to exceeding the regulations .
✔️ Finding alternatives when it doesn't work is difficult.
If your luggage won't fit in a locker and you're refused storage at a luggage storage facility, you'll have no choice but to sightsee with your bags in tow . This will result in a significant loss of time and stress during your stay in Kyoto.
