If you have a Japan Rail Pass, it's free to make seat reservations. You can reserve seats at the ticket machine or at the counter in the ticket office (Midori no Madoguchi) of any JR station in Japan (on a train line run by Japan Railways). It can be busy at the counter, so here's a walkthrough of how to make reservations for seats on the machine. The benefit of reserving a seat is you can get the space for luggage at the end of the carriage. If it's busy, you can also make sure you can sit together and travel at the time you want. Note that it's not just for the shinkansen; you can also reserve seats on other long distance trains and limited express trains. If you have a green car pass, making reservations is compulsory. The video also includes tips and things to watch out for, how to find the ticket machine at the station in Japan, plus general information about taking luggage and large suitcases on the bullet train.
