Extra large luggage area
These seats are called "Seat with larger luggage area" and must be reserved beforehand. Apart from these seats, there are also special racks for larger bags in the entry and exit area of the train wagon.
Both options are free and included in the Japan Rail Pass, but limited to a few per train car. If the train is out of these seats, trains run so frequently that you can likely get a seat on the next train within 20-30 minutes between larger cities.
Normal luggage racks
The overhead racks are actually much wider than on a normal plane or train and will fit your large check-in sized suitcases and bags without a problem. This area is for your check-in and carry-on sized bags and can easily fit bags under 160 cm.
Is the ticket more expensive?
A seat with larger luggage space does not come with any extra cost as it's included in the Japan Rail Pass. You book it as normal, but it may require some more planning beforehand as they may run out at popular hours quickly.
Try to travel with a bag smaller than 160 cm in height + width + depth instead and save yourself the headache of looking for special seats on every train as normal sized check-in bags are allowed without a reservation.
