What kind of lugagge can we bring at the Shinkansen? We are two people and we have two suitcase and a carry on
Hi there,
Official guide lines are:
You may bring up to two pieces of baggage on board free of charge. For each bag the total of the length, width and height must not exceed 250 centimeters, the length must not exceed two meters and the weight must be no more than 30 kilograms.
In practice this is not generally enforced and a more general rule is you can bring what you want, as long as it does not inconvenience other passengers or staff members.
Hope this helps,
Daniel
