In the joining portion, a first part including an upper end of the pillar lower portion is joined to a second part including a bottom end of the pillar upper portion in a state where the first part overlaps with an inner side of the second part. The constituent part is provided in the first part of the pillar lower portion, at a position above the bottom end in the vehicle up-down direction.
