JR Shinbashi Station is a station on the Tokaido Line in Minato-ku, Tokyo. It is famous for its many businessmen.

Although the station is on the Tokaido Line, it is served by five lines: the Tokaido Line and the Ueno Tokyo Line, which connects to the Tokaido Line; the Yamanote Line and the Keihin Tohoku Line; and the Yokosuka Line, which has underground platforms.

Apart from JR, you can transfer to Tokyo Metro Ginza Line, Toei Subway Asakusa Line, and Yurikamome Line.

There are also many coin lockers in the station, perhaps because many people use the station for business trips.

On this page, we will introduce information on coin lockers at JR Shimbashi Station with photos.

Let us introduce them one by one.

Coin Lockers in the passageway from the Shiodome Exit to the Ginza Exit

There are a large number of coin lockers in the passageway from the Shiodome Exit to the Ginza Exit; there are five locations, so it should be easy to find an empty one.

The Shiodome Exit is located to the left of the south ticket gate, and the Ginza Exit is located to the right of the north ticket gate.
