Luggage storage in Seoul
Seoul subway lockers cost ₩2,200–4,400 for four hours on weekdays, depending on size, and there are about 5,500 of them across 269 stations. Got a big suitcase? The staffed T-Luggage counters at eight stations take bags from ₩3,000 and can even send them to Incheon Airport the same day.
Subway lockers (T-Locker)
The coin lockers in Seoul Metro stations are called T-Locker (또타라커 in Korean). The base fee covers your first four hours. After that you pay by the hour.
| Small, first 4 hours (weekday) | ₩2,200, then ₩500 per hour |
|---|---|
| Medium, first 4 hours (weekday) | ₩3,300, then ₩800 per hour |
| Large, first 4 hours (weekday) | ₩4,400, then ₩1,000 per hour |
| Weekend base fee (one guide) | ₩3,100 / ₩4,600 / ₩6,100 |
The weekday prices are from the Seoul city government. The weekend base fees come from one user guide; the hourly extra is the same on weekends.
- Find a free locker first. The T-Locker app shows which lockers are empty right now. At big stations they fill up on weekend mornings.
- Pay by card. The app takes overseas cards. Older lockers take a card at the machine.
- Mind the hours. One guide lists 5:00 to midnight. Outside those hours the locker won't open, even if your time hasn't run out.
- Five days, max. Bags left longer get moved somewhere else, and you pay extra to get them back.
- "Large" isn't that large. A big 28-inch suitcase may not fit. Use a staffed counter for that one.
My tip: Check the T-Locker app before you ride to the station, especially on a weekend morning. And if your suitcase is 28 inches, skip the lockers and go straight to a T-Luggage counter.
T-Luggage staffed counters
T-Luggage is run by Seoul Metro. Staff take your bag at a counter, so size is less of a headache. The official site lists eight stations.
Where
Seoul Station, Myeongdong, Hongik Univ. (Hongdae), Jongno 3-ga, Jamsil, Gangnam, Suseo and Gimpo Airport. Jongno 3-ga is one stop from Anguk, close to Changdeokgung and Ikseon-dong.
Hours
Open every day. The official site lists 09:00–22:00 for the counters, with pick-up from 10:00; the city's 2025 notice says 10:00–22:00. Sources differ, so I'd plan on 10:00–22:00.
Booking
Book on the T-Luggage website or just walk up to a counter. Cancel after 18:00 the day before and you don't get a refund.
| Small (up to 20″), 4 hours | ₩3,000 weekday / ₩4,000 weekend |
|---|---|
| Medium (20–23″), 4 hours | ₩4,000 / ₩6,000 |
| Large (23–27″), 4 hours | ₩6,000 / ₩9,000 |
| Extra large (27″+), 4 hours | ₩9,000 / ₩13,000 |
| Each extra hour | ₩1,000 |
Prices are "from" figures on the T-Luggage site, checked October 31, 2026. Valuables, cash, laptops, food and other items may be refused.
Sending bags to the airport or another station
T-Luggage also moves bags the same day. So you can check out of your hotel, drop the suitcase, and spend the whole day in hanbok without dragging it around.
| Station to station (weekday) | ₩17,000–31,000 |
|---|---|
| Station to station (weekend) | ₩25,000–45,000 |
| Station to Incheon Airport (weekday) | ₩20,000–31,000 |
| Station to Incheon Airport (weekend) | ₩29,000–45,000 |
The price depends on bag size. The official price table names Incheon Airport Terminal 2, and it doesn't list drop-off cut-off times. So check the deadline and your terminal when you book.
Storing bags on a hanbok day
Hanbok shops often include a locker for your own clothes and a small bag while you're out. Room for a big suitcase? Don't count on it; ask the shop first. If you're coming straight from hotel checkout, leave the suitcase at a subway locker or a T-Luggage counter, then ride to the palace. Hanbok rental near Gyeongbokgung
