Buying a JR pass online is convenient, and it was very convenient to use on this trip. The only drawback is that you can only reserve seats 7 times using the electronic ticket machine.
Many trains offer the premium Yakumo class, allowing you to recoup your cost with just two rides – it's fantastic! However, if you didn't buy your ticket from the official website, you can't reserve a seat online beforehand; you must reserve it early through the green window.
After purchasing tickets through the platform, I went directly to the station to exchange them and reserve seats. The whole process was quite convenient and without any major problems. I would consider doing it again if needed in the future.
