Bullet trains in Japan do not have a lot of space for luggage. If you are taking more than a carry-on bag and backpack, we strongly recommend you use the provided luggage service. Your luggage will be picked up in Tokyo on July 12 and delivered on July 13 (you will need an overnight bag with you for the 12th).
Note - train stops in Japan are only 2-3 minutes, leaving very little time to place a bag.
