    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.
