Practical Information for Shinkansen Travelers

Luggage Guidelines on Tokaido Shinkansen Trains. Traveling from Hamamatsu to Tokyo follows standard Japan Railways rules for carry-on and large items:

Luggage Allowance

Passengers may bring up to two pieces of luggage, excluding small personal items. Each piece must not exceed a total dimension of 250 cm (length + width + height) and a weight of 30 kg. Objects with dimensions exceeding 160 cm require a specific oversized baggage reservation.

Storage Facilities

Trains are equipped with overhead racks for small bags and coats. Dedicated spaces for larger suitcases are located behind the last row of seats in each car. These spaces often require a reservation when booking your ticket to ensure guaranteed storage.

Special Items

Bicycles must be disassembled and stored in a carry bag (rinko bag). Sports equipment like skis or surfboards can be carried if they fit within the size limitations, but it is best to use specialized delivery services for very bulky gear.

Rail travel on the Shinkansen is significantly faster than road transport for this route, directly connecting city centers. Buses take several hours and are subject to highway traffic, while there are no commercial flights between these cities due to the short distance. The train remains the most reliable and time-effective option for travelers moving between Hamamatsu and Tokyo.

Plus, it’s a greener choice, reducing your carbon footprint
