Practical Information for Shinkansen Travelers

Luggage Guidelines on Hokuriku Shinkansen Trains. Traveling between Fukui and Tokyo involves specific rules for carry-on items and large baggage to ensure space for all passengers.

Luggage Allowance

Passengers may bring up to two pieces of luggage, excluding small personal bags. Each item must not exceed 250 cm in total dimensions and must weigh less than 30 kg. This allowance typically covers standard suitcases and travel bags.

Storage Facilities

Trains feature overhead racks for smaller bags and dedicated areas behind the last row of seats for larger items. On the Hokuriku Shinkansen, modern E7/W7 series trains also include some luggage racks in the hallways between cars.

Special Items

Bicycles are permitted if disassembled and placed in a specialized carry bag. For other oversized items like musical instruments or sports gear, space is available but limited, so early boarding is suggested to utilize the storage racks.
