How to purchase Shinkansen tickets
- 1. Buy tickets at JR Stations:
There are many Shinkansen Trains connecting Tokyo and Sendai, and there is no worry about not being able to catch a train at Tokyo Station. You can buy a Shinkansen ticket from Tokyo to Sendai on the same day before boarding the Shinkansen at JR Tokyo Station from a JR ticket office or a JR ticket machine at Tokyo JR Station or any JR Station in Tokyo or the airports.
It is suggested to buy a ticket in a ticket office from an office staff member if you are not familiar with the train systems in Japan. You can also use a ticket machine that typically has an English menu. Please notice that not all machines are the same, as some only offer Shinkansen tickets, and others only offer seat reservations.
There are two types of Tohoku Shinkansen trains (Faster or Slower) you can take from Tokyo to Sendai:
Faster trains: "Hayabusa", "Hayate" or "Komachi" with only reserved seats, which takes approximately 1.5 hours from Tokyo to Sendai.
Slower trains: "Yamabiko" with both reserved and non-reserved seats, which takes approximately 2 hours or 2.5 hours from Tokyo to Sendai.
There is basically no limitation in the number for the non-reserved seats of the "Yamabiko" trains. You can board any of the Yamabiko trains for the non-reserved seats, although you need to purchase the ticket before boarding.
For more details, please check the following website:
Shinkansen tickets: How to buy and use.

The following is the website that allows you to purchase Shinkansen tickets before or on the day of boarding:
