Luggage on Nikko local bus

Am I allowed to take my luggage on board the local bus in Nikko? If yes, is there a size restriction?

I don't believe that there is a size restriction. However, if the bus happens to be very full, I recommend to take a taxi, instead. But usually, I don't think it should be a problem, especially if you visit Nikko during the week.

How big of a piece of luggage are you talking about? If you are referring to the local one that serves the route between the station, temples, up to Kegon Falls, further up, then it's really a local bus, packed on weekends (or even on weekdays during good seasons) - I've only travelled with a small daypack. If you need to travel with large pieces of luggage to your hotel or something, ask the hotel if they have any shuttle bus service; or you may have to take a taxi.

Thanks for the info.

I was planning to take a 55L backpack for 2 people. May be we use 2 smaller backpacks instead.
