The biggest difference between Ordinary and Green Car are the seats. Ordinary seats on trains in Japan are adequate for all classes offering plenty of leg room (even for Westerners) and comfortable sizes. However if you feel like upgrading for extra comfort, the green car is the equivalent to first class. Wider seats, more leg room, and different queues on the platform. Unless you are used to traveling first class, the ordinary tickets are recommended.
