Have you ever struggled at Osaka Station thinking, “I want to store my luggage, but I can’t find a locker,” or found that every locker inside the station was already full?
Right by JR Osaka Station’s Umekita Underground Exit, you’ll find clean and easy-to-use coin lockers on the 1st floor of Umekita Green Place. These lockers are relatively new, located in an air-conditioned space, and comfortable year-round. They come in various sizes suitable for everything from standard backpacks to large suitcases.
This article introduces the “Umekita Green Place 1st Floor Coin Lockers” in detail, covering location, sizes, fees, key features, and important usage notes.
The coin lockers at Umekita Green Place are located immediately outside the JR Osaka Station Umekita Underground Exit.
While lockers inside Osaka Station are spread across its vast and complex interior, these lockers are placed “right outside the Umekita Underground Exit,” making them easy to find without confusion.
They’re perfect for dropping off luggage before or after using the Shinkansen or airport-bound buses, giving travelers peace of mind when exploring Osaka.
They are especially recommended for those heading straight to Umekita Park, Umekita Green Place, Grand Front Osaka, or Timeout Osaka after arriving in the city.
However, if your main activities are on the south side of Osaka Station (HEP FIVE, Umeda Shokudo-gai, Hankyu Higashi-dori Shopping Street, Kitashinchi, etc.), these lockers may be less convenient since they’re on the opposite side of the station. In that case, south-side lockers may be better.
The coin lockers at Umekita Green Place come in three types: small, medium, and large.
From everyday backpacks to large suitcases, these lockers can handle it all. Each type has the same width and depth, but different heights.
| Size | Fee (per day) | Dimensions (W × H × D) | Example of Luggage That Fits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small | ¥400 | 35cm × 30cm × 64cm | Standard backpack, everyday bag |
| Medium | ¥500 | 35cm × 50cm × 64cm | Compact carry - on suitcase |
| Large | ¥700 | 35cm × 84cm × 64cm | Standard carry - on suitcase (around 55cm) or M–L size suitcase |
There are around 100 lockers on the 1st floor of Umekita Green Place, with a good balance of small, medium, and large sizes, making it easy to find the right fit for your needs.
Coin lockers inside JR Osaka Station fill up quickly, often leaving no available units. By contrast, the Umekita Green Place lockers tend to fill up more slowly, so you have a better chance of finding space.
This makes them a great “hidden spot” for storing even large luggage.
Because Osaka Station is vast and lockers are scattered, it’s common for people to forget where they stored their luggage.
Here, the lockers’ simple location “right outside the Umekita Underground Exit” makes it easy to access and retrieve your belongings without confusion.
Payment is made in advance by cash or IC transit cards (ICOCA, Suica, PASMO, etc.).
Note that some lockers only accept IC cards, so check the payment machine before use.
Cash and IC transit cards accepted
Locker access hours follow JR Osaka Station’s operation schedule (from first to last train). After the last train, facility entrances are locked, and you can only retrieve luggage after service resumes. Keep this in mind if sightseeing late into the night.
Even though this is a lesser-known location, large lockers tend to fill up faster than small or medium ones.
If you want to store a suitcase, it’s best to use one early. Available lockers are indicated by green lights.
Plenty of availability before 10:00
