Internet Cafes And Luggage Storage Around Tokyo Station

When traveling around Japan, a low-cost and convenient travel method is the overnight bus. However, unlike other transportation methods, overnight buses depart late at night and arrive early in the morning. In addition to that, many dining places are not operating at the time of arrival, making it difficult to find a place to take a break.

This time we would like to introduce you places that are open early in the morning and late at night around Tokyo Station. Here is a collection of cafes you can use upon arrival, Internet cafes to prepare yourself before departure, and places to store your luggage while you tour around.

At the end of this article, you can find a convenient map with a listing with all the places mentioned in the article.

Suica Locker Search System

In Tokyo Station, there are many lockers where you can pay with an IC card. However, during holidays or seasons when many people travel around the country, it is likely that most of the lockers are already in use.

At times like this, it is convenient to use the locker vacancy search system to seek an open locker. You can find these systems at the Yaesu Central exit and the entrance of the Tokyo Station Ichibangai.

When you touch the screen, you will find a map of the first floor and the basement first floor. A locker mark will pop up in spots that have paid lockers. You can tell the vacancy through the colors. Green means there are more than 6 lockers open, orange means there are less than 6 lockers open, red means there are no lockers open. It is very easy to understand even if you don't understand Japanese!

Your current location is shown like the blue bracket in the photo above and can be spotted with a red triangle.

The icons on the left-hand side state the size of the lockers (L) for large, (M) for medium, (S) for small. When you touch these icons, you can see the vacancies according to locker size.

This is a convenient way for you to search without walking around.
