In response to an increasing demand from travellers, coin lockers have been installed in many tourist spots, such as JR and Kotoden Takamatsu staion, around Takamatsu Port. Your travel will be much easier if you use them smartly.

In JR Takamatsu station, coin lockers are right under the stairs.

At this station, there are three different sizes of coin lockers. The fee is 700 yen for a large one, 500 yen for a medium one and 300 yen for a small one. There may be times when all coin lockers on the ground floor are in use, but you can find more next to the escalator.

If it is so happens that all the lockers on both floors are in use, there is a temporary baggage storage service available on the right on your way out of the station. It is open from 8:30am to 17:30pm on weekdays. If you don’t come back to pick up your luggage within the opening hours, you will be charged double for the following day, so make sure to head back on time.
