Suitcase - A rolling suitcase that is no larger than
25" tall, 18" wide, and 9" deep
works well. You can place a day pack or small sports duffel on top while wheeling it, but you have to carry ALL of it up a staircase using your hands and arms if an escalator isn't available..
DO NOT BRING ANY LUGGAGE THAT IS LARGER THAN THE ABOVE!!
This size fits in the largest Japanese locker.
(Found only in the larger stations.)
