Fast and reliable. The station is just a bit large, so you need to allow extra time to figure out the directions and boarding platform.

I'm so glad I booked this through Klook. It was silver week at the time so lots of people travelling. The QR code is your ticket so you just beep it and on you go. I had a great seat on the mount Fuji side and extra leg room.

booking the Shinkansen tickets with Klook was a great way to avoid queues. Especially since we travelled during typhoon season. our train was delayed by an hour, but besides that everything went perfect.

When departing from Osaka, we went straight through the ticket gates using the QR code. However, if you are departing from Tokyo Station, please note that you can only enter through the Yaesu North Exit using the QR code. There were a lot of people inside the station.... Also, I felt that buying a Green Car ticket was totally worth it—it was so comfortable that I didn't want to get off.
