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.
This is the key to getting to Amanohashidate, and reservations are very convenient. However, the JR station staff didn't really help us reserve seats, telling us to reserve them ourselves at the machines. Was it because they were about to close for the day? The staff at Hakata Station would reserve seats for us up to six times, and in Osaka, they did take us to the machines to operate them ourselves.
Communication was smooth, the driver was very nice, drove very smoothly, and the car was very clean.
