No frills no fuss.. no need to deal with japanese language or the crowd onsite. My friend enjoyed his first shinkansen ride in his life. We sat by the window where we can see mount Fuji and our luggage was just behind our seats.

It was a completely clear day, so I got a great view of Mount Fuji. I stayed in Tokyo for 5 nights and was heading to Osaka, so I gave up a Mount Fuji seat because of my large suitcase. However, I went to the middle of the train (between the cars) to see Mount Fuji along the way, and I was able to see it and enjoy the view to my heart's content.
