If your ticket does not have a seat assignment and the total fare listed as 1310 yen,
you have a base fare only, you do not have a reservation on any specific Romancecar to Gotemba. Need to make a reservation on the specific Romancecar to Gotemba.
As for the luggage space, I think you are confusing with Shinkansen run by JR line between Tokyo-Shin Osaka. Shinkansen has an advance reservation system for passenger with large luggage, Odakyu Romacecar does not have such system and Romacecar does not have dedicated luggae space on a train.
Thanks for the breakdown. Option three is what my tickets look like right now. I made online reservations and then took my screen shot to the Romancecar counter to show them and then the regular ticket is what I ended up with. We aren’t riding until next week, is that a reason they wouldn’t have had me pay for both tickets already? I guess I just go back again the day of travel and purchase the other ticket?
