At the Midori-no-Madoguchi window, you will be asked, “Is your seat reserved or unreserved?
If you prefer the window side, choose the window side.
If you choose a “non-reserved seat,” you may be asked to stand and move around on the Shinkansen if the train is full.
Finally, you will be asked, “Round trip or one way?
When you arrive at the entrance (ticket gate) of the Shinkansen, insert the ticket you have just purchased (a combined ticket and limited express ticket) into the ticket gate and proceed forward.
If you have two tickets (a train ticket and an express ticket), you are told to stack both tickets on top of each other and insert them both into the ticket gate.
When you pass through the ticket gate, do not forget to pick up your ticket.
