Hi there,

If you are seriously planning on carrying a lot of luggage on the shinkansen you need to know that there is not much space to store it! You are not allowed to place luggage in the aisles and the overhead compartments are small. The sections for storing luggage at the end of each carriage are now not open due to worries about what exactly people might store there! Honestly, travel light if you can.
