On my second train already
Other than dropping my bike once, and it being really bulky lugging everything around, no problems with the luggage yet; just about enough room in the luggage storage area (it only sticks out a bit)!
The conductor even seemed happy with my ticket when I managed to dig it out!
The tropical storm hasn't reached this far yet. It may be raining in Nagoya already, but won't get really heavy until early tomorrow morning if the forecast is right.
The train is zipping past lots of the Nakasendo route post towns I walked and cycled through quite recently!
