Hello, I am traveling with a hard shell carry on luggage 22inch x 15in x9 in, a soft nylon bag 22x14x9 inches , and a back pack 12.5" x 6.75" x 18" inches. My back pack is considered a purse/personal item? Do you know? Thanks

@blueyonder1233 9 месяцев назад

Good job. Very informative as usual. You get a like & a ⭐ for "These areas have an over complicated access system".

@japanunravelled 9 месяцев назад

Thanks! 👍 Yeah, I'm not sure what JR was thinking when they put that together, but hey, more options are always good!

@Jack-iy3cm 9 месяцев назад

It’s no fun paying extra fees but if the seats with oversized baggage area are full and you really want to board, you can just bring on your oversized bags and pay ¥1,000 as an oversized bag fee.

@japanunravelled 9 месяцев назад

Have you done this or seen someone doing it? I've never seen it happen.

@Jack-iy3cm 9 месяцев назад

@@japanunravelled never tried this and never seen it. On JR’s website, they say that the conductor would designate a place to store the baggage. It makes me wonder if they have enough space to accommodate everyone if the train was full and every passenger on board brought along two 250 cm bags.

@japanunravelled 9 месяцев назад

They simply don't have the space.

@ShootingArow 27 дней назад

Well im about to find out if this is true. The ticket office told me they signed out of oversize baggage areas but I had already reserved my tickets months in advance with Klook and Klook doesn't let you reserve with oversize baggage.

1:58 Hi! Helpful video! I just had a question, do you know how big of a luggage can fit in the special luggage compartments? Thanks again for the Japan tips!😊

@japanunravelled 3 месяца назад

I think the JR Central site may have the exact info. There's more space than on the shelf but I think less than the areas behind the seats.

@LizzieLouu 3 месяца назад

Thanks for your quick reply and all your help !!

I have a jr pass for an upcoming trip and bought the green car pass. Some trains give you the option of “green car with luggage space” AND “green car with luggage compartment”. I have this on the Hikari from Hiroshima. What is the actual difference when selecting seats?

@japanunravelled 8 месяцев назад

Pretty much the same as shown in the video: space = end of car, compartment = shelf in the deck area.

@michaeldanch3923 4 месяца назад

Hi there ! our luggage bags are less then 160cm, however they are 47cm wide. Will we be allowed to put them on the luggage rack? Do the rules affect every shinkansen? For example also the shinkansen from tokyo to kanazawa?

@japanunravelled 4 месяца назад

If it fits on the shelf, you're fine. The one to Kanazawa doesn't have the rule yet, for the other lines please check JR's websites.

@anniesa27 8 месяцев назад

My suitcase is 120cm but quite huge actually, with 20kg capacity. I don't think I can put it on overheard baggage by myself. So do I still need to book it?

@japanunravelled 8 месяцев назад

Unless you want it by your feet, yes!

Yes!

Nunca habría esperado que un tren tan caro tuviera esas limitaciones. Debería haber más espacio para las maletas.

Hii im still confused by how this japan train luggage system. Im going to Japan this late May 2024 and i will be buying/book hokuriku arch pass today. Can i still reserved the seat & luggage at the same day i will be using it? And i will be going to Osaka using Hokuriku arch pass, and there's transit using regular trains, can regular train bring an oversized luggage & how to book it? (Sorry for my bad english)

@japanunravelled 5 месяцев назад

Yes and yes. Regular trains don't have this system, but it's best to book seats at the ends of cars too because they have the most luggage space. Have fun!

@taracarenna 8 месяцев назад

Do I have to reserve from hours before or the night before? Or can I make a reservation on the ticket box? I’ve got JRpass for next month and planing to use it immediately after arrival: from Nagoya to Kyoto (morning) and from Kyoto to Osaka (night) What should I do then? 😢

@japanunravelled 8 месяцев назад

Ticket office, ticket machine, online - all are possible. Try to do it as soon as you can beforehand if you really want to take a particular train, or risk finding there are no spaces available.

@taracarenna 8 месяцев назад

@@japanunravelled oh, so it’s okay to do it just before I take the shinkansen as long as there’re spaces available? Then, as you said, I’d take the earliest & latest train possible. Thanks for answering!

@NicholasYg 7 месяцев назад

@@taracarennaYou can just make reservation on ticketing machine, they allowed you to book seats even minutes before departure. As for seats availability, it should not be a concern as November is not really a peak holiday travelling season for the locals.

Hi, I just measured only A+B+C (66H+30W+43L=139cm) or must I count all the dimensions of the luggage ie multiple A,B,Cs ? In this case, is my luggage oversized ? I'm so confused. Please help advise.

@japanunravelled 5 месяцев назад

The limit is per piece, so 2 suitcases of 139cm for example are just fine.

@user-pk7li2hw7b 5 месяцев назад

@@japanunravelled I just have 1 piece of luggage, so the measurement would be just to count 1 section of A, B and C ? I don't have to measure all around the bag right ? Its a 26" trolley bag. Thanks!

@japanunravelled 5 месяцев назад

Just one measurement of A plus one of B plus one of C.

Are backpacks considered one of the two luggage items?

@japanunravelled 8 месяцев назад

From my understanding, no, unless you have a backpack the size of a suitcase.

@Bargadiel 8 месяцев назад

@@japanunravelled Not quite that big! Still fits under the seat on an airplane so I think that's good then. It's been so long since I've been on the Shinkansen, the new rules spooked me.
