I used the Yamagata Shinkansen for the first time, traveling from Tokyo Station to Sakurambo-Higashine Station. I was a little worried since it was my first time, but booking in advance through Klook made it convenient, and I boarded without any issues after getting my ticket. It was really comfortable to travel from Tokyo to Sakurambo-Higashine Station without any transfers. The seats were comfortable, and watching the scenery outside the window made the travel time not boring at all. I especially liked that there was a 100V power outlet near the seat, so I could charge my phone. However, since it's a Japanese outlet standard, it's a good idea to check in advance if the plug type is compatible if you're using a charger brought from Korea. I arrived safely at Sakurambo-Higashine Station and was very satisfied overall. If I travel this route again, I plan to book through Klook again. Highly recommended!

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.

Booking online is incredibly convenient. You can purchase tickets just 30 minutes to an hour before your trip, even if your plans change. Once you arrive, simply exchange your QR code for a physical ticket. This way, you don't have to worry about finding out a departure is sold out when buying tickets on-site.
