Can you take luggage on the Narita Express?

Narita Express trains offer luggage space and areas where you can lock your bags. Each separate seat provides a rather large seating area, which can also be used for placing your all luggage just before you. Besides, overhead compartments above each seat are also available.



Yes, the Narita Express (N'EX) is specifically designed for travelers with luggage and is one of the most convenient ways to get from Narita Airport to central Tokyo. Each car is equipped with dedicated, spacious luggage racks near the entrance doors. In 2026, these racks feature integrated cable locks where you can secure your bag using a 4-digit code you set yourself, providing peace of mind during the hour-long journey. There is no extra fee for bringing suitcases, and as long as your bags fit within the standard "two-bag" limit (each bag's total dimensions under 250cm), you do not need a special reservation for them. This is a major advantage over the Shinkansen (bullet trains), which now require "Oversized Baggage" reservations for very large suitcases. The N'EX also features overhead racks for smaller items, ensuring the seating area remains clear and comfortable for the duration of the trip.
