Practical Information for Shinkansen Travelers

Luggage Guidelines on Shinkansen and JR trains. Traveling between Odawara and Tokyo includes rules for carry-on and larger items. Below are key points to know when bringing luggage aboard these services:

Luggage Allowance

Passengers may bring standard carry-on luggage and one or two larger suitcases. For Shinkansen sections, large items should not exceed 250 cm in total dimensions; weight limits follow operator rules. For local JR trains, store large items where space allows.
