Useful Information for Foreign Tourists in Sapporo: Coin-operated Lockers in Sapporo Station
How to store your belongings in coin-operated lockers
Tourists starting their sightseeing adventure from Sapporo Station are recommended to store their luggage in the coin-operated lockers at JR Sapporo Station. Coin-operated lockers are lockers that you can rent to store your belongings. There are two types of coin-operated lockers at the station—a key type for which you pay the denoted fee (support available in English), and a key type operated by a touch panel (support available in English, simplified Chinese and Korean). Both types of lockers come in three sizes. Small lockers are available for 300–400 yen, medium-sized lockers are available for 400–500 yen and large lockers are available for 600–700 yen (rented on a one-time use or one-day basis). You can store your belongings in the lockers for up to three days, and the lockers can be accessed from around 5:15 a.m. to midnight. Coin-operated lockers only accept 100 yen coins, so use the nearby money changing machine as necessary.
