5 Nagoya Station Luggage Storage Options Compared
Enjoy a Nagoya morning without making your spare suitcase part of every stop. With Silk Crane, send it from your hotel front desk or a convenience store, carry a smaller bag and arrange delivery to a later hotel.
Choose monthly or annual storage, with shipping charged separately. For a suitcase you need again after today’s shopping, compare JR lockers, subway lockers, Takashimaya’s counter and Sagawa below. Nagoya’s JR, subway and private railway areas are connected, but they are not one collection point.

A coffee morning before the Hida journey
Picture a Nagoya stay followed by several nights in Takayama and Kanazawa. Your large suitcase contains purchases and spare clothes for the final Tokyo stay. Those belongings can wait while you explore central Japan.
Sign up for Silk Crane, use the supplied sending instructions and send the case from your hotel front desk or a convenience store. Keep everything needed during shipping in your smaller bag. There is time for toast and coffee before the train, without retrieving a second case from a locker. Arrange delivery to your later Tokyo hotel with time to unpack before departure.
A convenience-store stop, then a lighter day
Already out with a suitcase you will not need for the next part of the trip? Picture sending it from a convenience store, then carrying on with a small bag. Sign up for Silk Crane, follow the supplied sending instructions, keep your essentials during shipping and arrange delivery to a later hotel in Japan.

1. Silk Crane: send the bag and arrange later delivery
Choose Silk Crane when your extra luggage can skip part of the journey. Send from your hotel front desk or a convenience store, keep a smaller bag and arrange delivery when you want the stored belongings again. There is no trip to a Silk Crane storage location or return to the same locker.
Cost: a monthly or annual plan, plus separate shipping. Compare the current storage plans together with sending and return-delivery costs. Silk Crane has no walk-in counter at Nagoya Station and does not provide immediate retrieval or same-day local holding.
Sign up before sending and follow the supplied instructions. Keep documents, medicine and everything needed during shipping with you. The hotel and airport delivery guide explains how to plan the return. If you simply need the suitcase at your next hotel soon, direct forwarding may be the simpler choice.
2. JR Nagoya lockers: choose the bank near your train
The JR Nagoya locker map distinguishes the Central Concourse, Hirokoji Exit, Taiko-dori Exit and Gate Tower basement banks. Some locations have extra-large compartments; others have only small ones. Read the fee and measure your case against the actual compartment.
The operator ties access to station entrance opening hours. Save the bank number and nearest exit, then check the walk to your departure gate. A locker convenient on arrival can become an awkward collection stop if you leave by a different railway.
3. Subway lockers: match the line and level
The Nagoya subway locker guide maps Sakura-dori Line banks on B2F and Higashiyama Line banks on B1F. Its maximum storage period is three days including the first day, with access during subway station hours.
This can suit a city outing that ends on the same subway route. Payment methods vary between banks. Use the guide’s size and availability information before walking downstairs, and read the displayed charging rules rather than assuming the JR lockers work the same way.
4. Takashimaya: a useful shopping-day counter
JR Nagoya Takashimaya’s baggage FAQ places the service counter on 1F, North Block, north of Delicious Court. Holding runs 10:00–20:00 at ¥1,100 for belongings fitting its specified container.
Same-day purchases totaling at least ¥3,000 at JR Nagoya Takashimaya or Takashimaya Gate Tower Mall give up to five hours free. Keep the receipts and ask the counter to check the arrangement before shopping. Capacity is limited. This is counter holding; Takashimaya says it has no coin lockers inside the department store.
5. Sagawa Miyako: an underground counter
Sagawa’s Miyako counter guide and map lists 08:00–20:00 at 4-54-2 Meieki, Miyako Underground Shopping Center. Storage costs ¥1,000 per piece per day up to 160 cm combined length, width and height.
The operator links an online storage reservation service. Use its map for the final underground approach; this is not the Taiko-dori side. If your bag is larger than the published band, ask the counter before committing to the walk. Local hotel delivery is a separate service with an earlier cutoff.
A nearby place to send your suitcase
Your hotel front desk may save a walk altogether. Already out with the case? Yamato’s directory lists this nearby branch as accepting shipments. It is a sending point, not a Silk Crane storage branch.
7-Eleven Nagoya Tsubakicho
14-23 Tsubakicho, Nakamura-ku
Walking directions to 7-Eleven Nagoya Tsubakicho — about 3 minutes / 210 m from Nagoya Station’s Silver Clock.
This west-side branch lists 24-hour opening. Allow extra time to cross the station if arriving on the Meieki side; the map begins at the Silver Clock, not your platform. Convenience-store shipment listings exclude Size 180 and 200 parcels. Confirm the dispatch cutoff; 24-hour opening does not mean every bag leaves that day.
Walking estimates were checked October 5, 2026, from the map starting point named beside each link. Allow extra time for platforms, indoor navigation, stairs, queues and the handoff. These are useful examples, not a claim that they are the nearest stores.
Questions before choosing
Which option is best for a few hours in Nagoya?
Choose a local locker or counter near the route you will take back. Takashimaya can suit shopping, while JR and subway lockers suit different train journeys. Include collection time when comparing prices.
Can I send luggage from Nagoya and receive it in Tokyo later?
With Silk Crane, arrange storage and later delivery within Japan. Keep essentials with you during shipping and request delivery ahead. For a case needed at the very next hotel, compare direct forwarding instead of a storage plan.
Enjoy the next stop with less to carry
Send the extra luggage from your hotel front desk or a convenience store and arrange delivery to a later stop in Japan. Choose monthly or annual storage; shipping is charged separately.
