getabako
A Japanese shoe locker or shoe cubby. Commonplace in schools.
In Japan it is considered bad manners to wear shoes indoors, so when entering a home or school, one's outdoor shoes are typically exchanged for uwabaki (slippers) at a getabako.
A common trope in anime is for students to leave a love letter in their crush's shoe locker.
