Re: [94attendees] Big in Japan: Some Essential Travel Tips

About coin locker's fee and time limit.

Typical coin lockers do daily based billing (ex. 300 yen per day).
The time duration ends and begins around 1 am. The time is printed
on the lockers.

Many of them are for one-day use, three days maximum.
If exceeded, bags are kept in operator's office. You will need
to call them for taking back your bag.

There are many, all over the place, and of course they look similar. Also, lockers do fill up. At peak times you may have to look around to find an available space.
