I went for the Green Car (First Class). It's very comfortable and the journey went by in no time at all. The later part of the journey is done at a much slower speed than the begining (181mph). The last part of the journey weaves its way through the hills, twisting and turning through the spectacular scenery and many tunnels. Booking through Look saved a lot of hassle buying Shinkansen tickets. Some use a QR code at the gate, others use the QR code to get tickets from any JR ticket machine by just pressing the QR code button.
