Buy JR Tokyo Wide Pass/reservations on line 2017/1/15 19:54
We are traveling from Tokyo to Karuizawa and back to Tokyo in three days on the Hokuriku Shinkansen.

I was told by somebody that I can also upgrade to the Grand Class on the Asama. How can I do this?

Travel days: February 10, 11 & 12. Arriving Narita from the USA on February 9, staying overnight in a Narita Hotel and leaving the next day (February 10) via Tokyo to Karuizawa.

Thank you.

You have to pay "limited express charges" and "GranClass charges" both.
(7950Y/oneway top up total for Asama)
(10000Y/oneway total top up for Hakutaka)

But Asama's GranClass is GranClass service-less.
If taken faster Hakutaka's GranClass service with
but travel time is about 60 min very short as Shinkansen travel.
Also Hokuriku(include Joetsu) shinkansen is slower 260km/h max
than Tohoku shinkansen 320km/h max
and a lot of tunnels not so long good window views.
