From May 2020, a special reservation will be required if you plan to bring luggage of over a certain size on the Shinkansen.

bring luggage of over a certain size on the train. So you don’t get caught out with an oversized bag, we’ve looked into the details for you.In recent years, the number of tourists visiting Japan from overseas has increased, and many board the Shinkansen carrying larger luggage. With the Olympic games coming to Japan in 2020, more over-sized luggage is expected.

The new “extra-large luggage storage” reservation system will be implemented in mid-May 2020 in order to eliminate this deficiency. The new system also has security in mind, so you can enjoy a safer and more comfortable trip.Not all items will require a reservation. Suitcases with a total three-side measurement of 161-250 cm will be considered “extra-large.” That’s comparable to the size of checked baggage on an international flight .

In the future, there will be two types of luggage storage areas. Currently, there’s a designated space behind the rear seats in each carriage of the vehicle. By 2023, new storage areas will be added to some trains near washroom areas.
