Cheap Shinkansen Ticket? 2016/12/7 00:57
I'm going to Japan soon and need a shinkansen ticket from Tokyo to Kyoto. It's the only long distance ticket I'll need, so a Japan Rail pass wouldn't be put to good use.
I'm seeing that a ticket would cost 13620 yen through the station, but that's a little too pricey. I know there are some stores that sell discounted tickets. Where are these stores in Tokyo and is it best to show up the day before to buy a ticket or find an online vendor to take out the worry entirely?

Non-reserved is slightly cheaper - Y13,000 on the Nozomi for ta trip today.

You are travelling 500km in around two hours and paying for the speed. If you don't care about the time you can get regular trains and do it for Y8,200.
