It was easy to book and paid. The instruction was clear also. I just need to print the physical train ticket in any train station. For notes, the seat number was written in the attachment of the email reply from Klook. It was easy to find the platform of the Azusa. When you are on the train, it was easy also to check whether the seat was already reserved or not by seeing the light on top of the seat. The train, in general, was just nice. The landscape view between Hakuba Shinjuku was beautiful.

the retrieval instructions of the ticket is outdated.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.

It's very convenient, and the price is likely cheaper than buying it at the ticket counter.
