Luggage lockers located a short walk
from Shimoyoshida Station
for Chureito Pagoda visitors’ convenience.
Shimoyoshida-benri-ten is a rare unmanned 24-hour convenience store. The store is the only place equipped with luggage lockers where visitors can put their luggage directly after passing through the station gate. It also sells beverages, ice cream, and snacks. Visitors getting off the train or bus do not have to walk a long way carrying their luggage but can put it in the lockers to enjoy hiking to Chureito Pagoda!
