Hello all, I'm based out of Taipei currently but I'll be travelling to Japan semi-regularly in the foreseeable future and would love to start taking my bike across when I can.
I know variants of this question has been asked but nothing quite directly answers my concerns. Hopefully someone can chime in with some advice.
I'm planning to take my bike the next time I pop over in November, I have a Scicon bike bag that I have used to transport bikes safely on flights previously. I am concerned about what to do once I get to Haneda Airport to get to Gotanda station. I understand that I should be allowed to carry this bag on the train lines (including JR transfer at Shinagawa), but I land at 5:30pm so I would be commuting during after work peak hour. Is this going to be a concern? I was told I can just go to the first or last carriage where there are more room for larger baggage? Would I get the stink eye from follow commuters?
Thank you from Taipei and hope to see you on the roads.
