Thanks for the update Kenchan-San
Too informative video you share ty
Hi Kenchan, I will be going to Japan this November. This will be my first time taking the Shinkansen train from Kyoto to Tokyo. I won't be using JR pass. I'll bring 28-inch luggage. May I ask for your advice if it is better to purchase unreserved or reserved seat ?
Are there situations where you have reserved those spaces but find that someone else has put their luggages there when you get on? What would be the best thing to do if that happens? Thank you.
Konichiwa Kengo san, could you make a small video about using local buses, i believe you have to get on at the rear. Arigato Gosaimasu
You’re videos are so helpful! I am a family of 5 going from Osaka to Tokyo. I have 2 suitcases that are 28 inches that will be too heavy to lift to the above seat space. On Smart Ex, can I reserve 2 seats with luggage and 3 without at the same time with seats together? Thank you!
Thank you! I have always been curious about the luggage compartment and this is the only indepth video that talks about the process 🙏🏻
