The ticket machine was easy to find and the QR code worked really easily. The ticket machines are near the information office where help can be obtained if needed. It wasn’t that easy to find the platform we needed but given a bit of time we worked it out. Plenty of places after the ticket barrier to buy Bento boxes for lunch on the train. of course the train left spot on time and was immaculate.

You don't need to purchase extra luggage space for this line. I happened to take it during the Obon Festival, buying and using the ticket on the same day. I exchanged the voucher outside Ueno JR Station, and when exiting the station, I had to use both tickets simultaneously.
