Travel Smart with the JR Pass and Move Hands-Free!
As more Canadian travelers explore Japan with the JR Pass, many are excited to zip across the country on the iconic Shinkansen bullet trains. But there is one common surprise that catches visitors off guard:
Limited Luggage Space on Shinkansen
While the trains are fast, clean, and efficient, large luggage storage is limited. Overhead racks fit only small/medium bags, and designated large-bag spaces can fill quickly—especially during peak travel seasons.
This can make long-distance travel with big suitcases stressful and inconvenient

Delivery Service.
Travelers can now send their suitcases ahead— directly to their hotel—while they enjoy sightseeing without the burden of heavy bags.
