Traveling During End of Year/ New Year

I’m gonna be visiting my family and am planning to take my suitcase along with me. It’s not oversized and can easily fit in the overhead compartments of JR trains/Shinkansen.

Haven’t traveled much during peak season so I don’t know what the luggage situation will be like aboard the trains. As others will probably also bring their luggage, will it be difficult to find overhead luggage space?

I do also have the option to take a smaller bag (non-rigid/ kinda like a duffel bag) but I will probably buy some stuff while returning which makes the suitcase a bit more convenient (larger storage).

I have booked/reserved all tickets and would like to know whether I should take a smaller bag and buy less stuff when returning or take my suitcase with me.

P.S. I will also be using local lines/trains as well to reach/leave the main larger station where the Shinkansen stops.
