Hi, travelling in Japan with 2 adults, 3 kids including baggage and ski gear in late Dec/Jan 2017. Thinking of taking Shinkansen from Tokoyo to Kyoto and also up to shin-Hakodate. If travelling on JR Pass in Economy Class is there enough room next to the seat for 1 suitcase each and 2 big ski bags? or do you pack baggage elsewhere on the train? Are there any trolley's or similar to transport baggage between train platforms? Lastly assume we can reserve seats (see it is incl. in JR Rail pass)

There are no real luggage carts in Japanese train stations either. With a JR Rail Pass though, you can do advance seat reservations - it is a free perk thrown in.
