Extra large luggage area on the Shinkansen

Big bags have a few places to go on board. Knowing them makes boarding calm.

Luggage compartment near the doors of a bullet train

Behind the last row

The main space for big bags. It belongs to passengers in the last row who booked the oversized baggage seat.

Near the doors

Some newer trains have baggage spaces by the doors. Where they can be reserved, book them together with your seat.

Bags over 250 cm

These are not allowed on board. Send them with a luggage forwarding service instead.
