Practical Information for Shinkansen Travelers

Luggage Guidelines on Shinkansen Trains. Traveling between Kyoto and Fukuyama includes specific rules for carry-on and large items. Below are key points to know:

Luggage Allowance

Passengers may bring up to two pieces of luggage. Each item must not exceed 250 cm in total dimensions. Items with total dimensions between 161 cm and 250 cm require a specific 'oversized baggage' reservation on most Sanyo Shinkansen services.

Storage Facilities

Trains are equipped with overhead racks for smaller bags. For larger suitcases, dedicated storage areas are located at the ends of the cars. Reserving a seat with an oversized baggage space ensures a designated spot for large items.

Rail travel on the Shinkansen provides the most direct city-center connection, whereas flights would require traveling to Osaka's airports and then flying to Hiroshima, followed by a long bus ride. Buses are available but involve significantly longer journey times. For door-to-door travel between Kyoto and Fukuyama, the Shinkansen remains the most time-efficient rail option.

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