We Paid Extra for Japan's Green Car Shinkansen—Here's Why

Japan's Shinkansen trains offer up to three levels of comfort and luxury. Today, we're taking a Green Class car on the Hokuriku Shinkansen (Hakutaka No.562) for a three hour ride from Kanazawa Station to Tokyo Station. We'll be taking noon hour train so we're looking for a couple of ekiban—train station lunch bento boxes—to take on board for a unique lunch experience as we nestle into our comfy Green Car seats.
