Check whether your JR train is a Yamanote, Keihin-Tohoku, Tokaido, Yokosuka or Ueno-Tokyo Line service.
Confirm whether your Shinkansen is a Nozomi, Hikari or Kodama service because the trains have different stopping patterns.
Keep your ticket or transport card available because transfers between operators may require separate gates.
Check the carriage number before boarding a Shinkansen because the trains are long and boarding positions are marked on the platform.
Allow extra time during weekday commuter periods because the east–west station passage becomes crowded.
