Fujikyu Railway says part of the large-bus parking area beside Shimoyoshida Station will be unavailable while construction is carried out on Friday, September 25. The notice matters mainly to tour groups and charter-coach operators using the station for access to the Chureito Pagoda and Fujiyoshida area.
Key Facts For Travelers
What The Notice Changes
Only a portion of the large-bus area is listed as unavailable. The official announcement does not say that Shimoyoshida Station or the Fujikyu Railway Line will close, so ordinary rail passengers should continue to check the separate live train-status page for service information.
The operator publishes a diagram showing the work zone. Group organizers should send that official diagram to the driver and confirm the day’s stopping instructions rather than assuming the usual bay will be available.
Parking Rules For Tour Coaches
Fujikyu Railway’s standing parking guide says Shimoyoshida has coach spaces but no day-parking facility for ordinary cars. Coach parking is normally first come, first served without reservations and costs JPY 3,000 per vehicle.
Because capacity will be reduced during the work, a coach party should not build a tight sightseeing schedule around guaranteed parking. Confirm the arrangement with the railway or tour operator before departure and allow time for instructions on arrival.
Plan Pickup And Drop-Off Carefully
Shimoyoshida Station is the rail stop signed for Chureito Pagoda, so the forecourt can be busy with visitors and tour vehicles. Keep passengers together, use only the assigned stopping area, and avoid waiting on nearby roads.
If your itinerary reaches the station after 9:00 AM on September 26, the operator expects normal access to return. Recheck the official notice shortly before travel in case construction timing changes.
Traveler Actions
- Share the official closure diagram with the coach company before September 25.
- Confirm a pickup, drop-off, and waiting plan instead of assuming the regular bus bay is available.
- Allow extra arrival time for staff directions and reduced parking capacity.
- Do not use ordinary-car spaces or nearby roads as an improvised bus waiting area.
- Check the railway’s current notice again before the trip.
