USJ Lockers Guide 2026: Where to Store Suitcases, Coats, and Souvenirs

2026年6月7日USJ

The key to using coin lockers at USJ is to separate “luggage to store before entering” from “items to use inside the park”

One thing that many people unexpectedly worry about on the day they visit USJ is their luggage.

Can you bring a suitcase?
Where should you put your winter coat?
Should you carry rain gear or a change of clothes?
After buying souvenirs, do you have to carry them around all day?

First-time visitors to Universal Studios Japan often get stuck on these questions.

To start with the conclusion, the basic rule at USJ is to store large luggage in lockers outside the park before entering.
If you put only the items you need inside the park into a smaller bag and keep yourself light, moving between attractions, shows, photo spots, and restaurants becomes much easier.

Large luggage such as carry cases and suitcases requires special attention.
Large luggage cannot be brought into the park, so make sure you decide where to store it before going to the baggage inspection area.

Another important point is that if you enter with a regular Studio Pass, you cannot re-enter the park once you leave.
In other words, if after entering the park you realize, “I left my portable charger in the locker outside!”, you may need to rent one inside the park, which could lead to an unexpected expense.

Basic information about USJ coin lockers

For large luggage at USJ, you should use the lockers located outside the park.
Available locations, sizes, payment methods, and whether you can take items in and out vary depending on the type of locker.

• Lockers inside the park are for smaller items used after entering
• Lockers outside the park are for large luggage stored before entering
• Extra-large lockers are available only outside the park
• Cashless-only lockers are available only outside the park
• Large luggage cannot be brought into the park
• Regular admission tickets do not allow re-entry, so do not store items you will need inside the park

Where are the coin lockers at USJ? Differences between inside and outside the park

In 2026, the number of coin lockers inside USJ was reduced. There is now 1 location outside the park, 2 locations between baggage inspection and the entrance gates, and 1 location inside the park.

Broadly speaking, how you use USJ coin lockers depends on whether they are “inside the park” or “outside the park.”

The coin lockers located between baggage inspection and the entrance gates are not very convenient, so they are not recommended.
Because they are outside the entrance gates, visitors other than Annual Pass holders cannot go back to use them during the day, and some of the lockers are in locations that are inconvenient to access when leaving the park.
You also cannot store suitcases there. Perhaps USJ does not want to recommend these lockers either, as they are not shown on the map.

If you are going to store luggage there, it is better to use the coin lockers outside the park instead.

Lockers outside the park｜For people who want to store suitcases or large luggage

Lockers outside the park are for people who want to store luggage before entering.

If you are coming from far away, visiting USJ before hotel check-in, or arriving by overnight bus or Shinkansen and heading straight to the park, you should first consider the lockers outside the park.

If you have a suitcase or carry case in particular, you must store it before entering because it cannot be brought into the park.

The lockers are located on the opposite side of the baggage inspection area that everyone passes through when entering, and the space is very large, so you do not need to worry about missing it.
However, on extremely crowded days, if you arrive at USJ after noon, the coin lockers may already be full.

Also, coin lockers that can hold large luggage such as suitcases may fill up during busy travel seasons.
If you are arriving late, storing your luggage at Universal City may also be a good option.

USJ coin locker prices and size guide

USJ coin locker fees vary by size.
Prices may change, so please check the latest information before your visit.

There are two types of coin lockers: cashless-only lockers and cash-only lockers.
Cash-only lockers are generally wider and taller.
Cashless-only lockers are deeper, so they may be easier to use if you have a lot of luggage. There are also more cashless-only coin lockers available.

Size	Fee	Recommended use	Dimensions
S: Small	500 yen	Backpacks, small bags, jackets	Cashless-only: Width 355 mm × Depth 645 mm × Height 326 mm Cash-only: Width 357 mm × Depth 453 mm × Height 398 mm
L: Large	1,000 yen	Larger bags, people with more luggage	Cashless-only: Width 355 mm × Depth 645 mm × Height 567 mm Cash-only: Width 357 mm × Depth 453 mm × Height 802 mm
XL: Extra-large	1,500 yen	Suitcases and carry cases	Cashless-only: Width 355 mm × Depth 645 mm × Height 868 mm Cash-only: Width 536 mm × Depth 617 mm × Height 926 mm

The coin lockers outside the park can be used until 2 hours after park closing. After that, you will not be able to retrieve your luggage.
For example, if you enjoy the park until around closing time and then eat dinner at Universal City before picking up your luggage, more than 2 hours may pass and you may no longer be able to take out your belongings.

Lockers inside the park｜For people who want to store jackets or small hand luggage

Lockers inside the park are useful when you want to store smaller items that you no longer need after entering.

Examples include winter jackets when it gets warm during the day, raincoats after the rain stops, or souvenirs purchased during your visit.
However, lockers inside the park are not intended for storing large suitcases.

Because these lockers can be used after entering the park, they also tend to fill up early on crowded days.
On days when many people want to store winter jackets, summer changes of clothes, or raincoats on rainy days, you should pay attention to availability from the morning.

Being able to move around the park lightly makes walking, watching shows, and taking photos much more comfortable.

Size	Fee	Recommended use	Dimensions
S: Small	500 yen	Backpacks, small bags, jackets	Cashless-only: Width 355 mm × Depth 645 mm × Height 326 mm

Coin lockers inside the park can be used until park closing time.

JR Osaka Station coin locker availability in real time

JR Osaka Station has many coin lockers inside the station, such as near the Central Gate and Midosuji Gate, as well as outside the ticket gates, including around the Midosuji Exit, South Gate, Sakurabashi Exit, and Central Gate.

There are extra-large, large, medium, and small coin lockers.

If you are traveling to USJ from Shin-Osaka by Shinkansen, storing your luggage at JR Osaka Station, where you transfer trains, can also be a good option.
This is especially useful if you are staying around Osaka Station or Umeda, or somewhere such as Kyobashi that you will pass through via Osaka Station.

Can you bring a suitcase into USJ?

Large luggage such as suitcases and carry cases cannot be brought into the USJ park.

Therefore, if you have a suitcase, decide where to store it before heading to baggage inspection.

The recommended priority is as follows.

1. Leave it at your hotel
2. Use an extra-large locker outside the park
3. Store it in a large locker or luggage storage service at Universal CityWalk Osaka
4. Store it at your departure station, Osaka Station, or another transfer station before heading to USJ

If you are heading to USJ from Shin-Osaka Station, Osaka Station, Namba Station, or a similar location, storing your luggage at a station along the way is also an option.
However, be sure to think about whether you will pass through the same station on your way back.

For example, if you came from Shin-Osaka Station on the way to USJ but plan to eat dinner around Osaka Station before going to your hotel on the way back, returning to Shin-Osaka Station just to pick up your luggage can be quite troublesome.
For visitors coming from far away, deciding where to store luggage while considering your “route home” is a good way to avoid problems.

When checking locker size, do not judge by height alone.
Even if the height seems to fit, a carry case may not fit because of its depth or width.

If you are coming from far away and can leave your luggage at your hotel, prioritizing your hotel is also a good option.
If you are staying at an official hotel near USJ or a hotel around Universal City Station, store your luggage at the hotel.

USJ coin locker payment methods

VISA, MasterCard, JCB, AMEX, UnionPay
iD, QUICPay+, WAON, d払い, PayPay, Merpay, au PAY, Alipay+
These coin lockers accept contactless credit card payments, electronic money payments, and QR code payments.

A credit card that supports contactless payment is required.
UnionPay requires QR payment.

Important notes when using lockers outside the park

The most important thing to remember when using lockers outside the park is that you cannot easily return to pick up your belongings after entering.

In principle, admission tickets other than Annual Passes do not allow re-entry.
Therefore, if you enter with a regular Studio Pass, you should assume that anything stored in a locker outside the park cannot be used until you leave.

Items that are suitable for lockers outside the park include the following.

・Suitcases
・Carry cases
・Clothes for your hotel stay
・Jackets you will not use
・Souvenirs you do not need until going home
・Large bags
・Items you will not need until night

On the other hand, you should avoid storing the following items.

・Smartphone
・Wallet
・Tickets
・ID
・Portable charger
・Regular medication
・Children’s items
・Rain gear
・Items you may need for heat or cold protection that day

Be especially careful on rainy days.
Even if it is not raining in the morning, it may start raining in the evening.
If you put your folding umbrella or raincoat in a locker outside the park, you will not be able to take it out when it rains.

The same applies to cooling towels on hot days, or gloves and heat packs in winter.
It is best to keep “items you might use” together in a small bag and bring them into the park.

Groups of friends should be careful when sharing one locker

When visiting with friends, putting everyone’s luggage into one locker can help reduce costs.
However, be careful about managing the key or PIN code.

Who will keep the key?
Is there a chance your group will split up during the day?
Can everyone return to the locker at the same time when leaving?

If you do not decide these things in advance, it is easy to end up in a situation at night where “the person with the key is in another shop!”

If you are visiting with friends, taking a photo of the locker location is also recommended.
At the end of a USJ day, everyone is tired, so even if you think you remembered the location in the morning, you may find yourself wondering at night, “Wait, which locker was it?”

On crowded days, coin lockers may not be available

USJ coin lockers tend to fill up earlier on crowded days.

The days that require particular attention include the following.

・Long weekends of 3 days or more
・Spring vacation
・Summer vacation
・Winter vacation
・Halloween season
・Christmas season
・Graduation trip season

Summary｜Decide in advance where to store luggage at USJ

If you arrive at USJ early in the morning, storing your luggage in the coin lockers before baggage inspection is recommended.

If you arrive at USJ before noon, storing your luggage at “KeePen Azukarutokorona.” in Universal CityWalk near Universal City Station is recommended because it reduces the distance you need to carry your suitcase.

When storing luggage, separate your belongings in advance so that you do not accidentally store items you need inside USJ, such as tickets, a portable charger, rain gear, heat packs, or medication.

At USJ, you walk a lot, take photos, eat food, wait for shows, and often find your hands full more than expected.
Keeping your luggage light allows you to focus more on enjoying the park.

Frequently asked questions about USJ coin lockers

Q. Can I bring a suitcase into USJ?

Q. Can I return to pick up luggage stored in lockers outside the park?

A. Regular admission tickets do not allow re-entry, so it is not recommended to store items outside the park with the assumption that you can return to pick them up after entering. Keep your smartphone, wallet, tickets, portable charger, rain gear, medication, and similar items with you.

Q. What time can coin lockers be used?

A. Coin lockers at Universal CityWalk can be used regardless of whether it is early morning or late night.
