Go straight to Ueno and use the ticket vending machine to pick up your reserved Shinkansen tickets. It is very convenient and fast. You don't need to buy tickets on-site, which saves a lot of time and avoids the hassle of potential communication difficulties.

I had to change the train time for the "Narita Airport - Tokyo Station" route, which also meant I had to change the connecting "Tokyo Station - Karuizawa" train time as well. Fortunately, it was easy to change, allowing for a comfortable trip.

I bought an unreserved ticket, and even though I accidentally went somewhere else and transferred back, I didn't need to pay any extra fare. It's really great.

the retrieval instructions of the ticket is outdated. I had to approach the physical service counter for help. Apparently you only need to scan the QR code at the main menu of the Shinkansen ticketing machine. no need to go to ticket retrieval menu etc.
