Buying Shinkansen tickets or using the Japan Rail Pass is usually done at the Green ticket windows (Midori-guchi) at most JR stations. This video talks about some of the challenges of buying your tickets at the counter or at outside Shinkansen vending machines. Advice is also given on the best time to visit Green ticket windows and which stations would be less crowded.

Interesting and good information.
BTW, any schedule for the Shimanami Kaido video of you and your friends on the ebikes?
Thanks, Mike
As a foreigner who recently used the Shinkansen vending machine using the JR Pass, I can confirm that it does indeed take us long. Haha. Mike is spot on! Lol!
