はい、ほかのおきゃくさまのごめいわくにならないよう、あみだなをごりよういただけますとさいわいです。
Yes, I would appreciate it if you could use the luggage rack so as not to bother other passengers.
Gesture & etiquette
Politely point towards the luggage rack above the seats with an open palm.
Do not place your bag on an empty seat, as this is considered inconsiderate when the train is crowded.
