Practical Information for Shinkansen Travelers

Luggage Guidelines on Shinkansen Trains. Traveling on the Tokaido Shinkansen includes rules for carry-on and larger items. Below are key points to know when bringing luggage aboard Shinkansen services:

Luggage Allowance

Passengers may bring up to two large pieces plus a carry-on. Large items should generally not exceed total dimensions of around 250 cm and weight limits advised by the operator; confirm limits before travel to avoid restrictions.

Storage Facilities

Shinkansen cars provide overhead racks for small bags and designated luggage areas near car entrances for larger suitcases. Space is limited in high-occupancy services so stow items promptly after boarding.

Special Items

For bicycles, musical instruments, or oversized sports equipment, check operator rules in advance. Some items require disassembly, reservation, or use of station services due to space constraints.
