Thank you everyone for the thoughtful responses! I am worried about finding an attendant at each station. Are they usually around the ticket gate area?

I am also worried about finding an elevator in some of the bigger stations. Is the signage for the elevator access good or is it difficult to find?

So I booked a wheelchair space on the Shinkansen from Kyoto to Tokyo. According to Tak, I will not need to find an attendant to help with a slope? Did I understand correctly that there is no gap for car 11?

thank you all!
