Buying through pelago will be a reserved seat. Thankfully pelago chose a seat for us with oversized baggage. Kudos to them. (I’m not sure it’s just sheer luck or pelago actively tries to give us seats with oversize baggage allowance) Reasonable price. Easy to obtain tickets from Shinkansen kiosk. Tokyo station is huge and be sure to reach early.
