2026-01-28

Taking a highway bus from Shinjuku to the Kawaguchiko/Mt.Fuji area is a great option since it drops you off right in front of Kawaguchiko Station, where the bus terminal, highway buses, and local bus stops are all conveniently located. However, finding somewhere to store your luggage can really disrupt your plans for the rest of the day, especially if you’re not aware of the options beforehand.

This article summarizes the coin lockers (inside/around the station) and staffed luggage storage facilities at Kawaguchiko Station from the perspective of how to use them.
*Prices, number of lockers, and business hours are subject to change. Please check the official information and local displays before departure.
