This is the Tsuruga Shinkanesen station. Now pay attention. To the left, via an integrated overpass (refer getting stamped bits of paper) is the normal JR stations, for the regular lines I took in Tsuruga, some of which take IC card, some do not, that part is still a mystery to all. To the right, is MORE of the JR station, for the limited express lines to Kyoto and Nagoya, which you need reservations for. To get to those lines, you must pass through a JR local station, the Hapi line private station (pink coloured), the Shinkansen station and then the other part of the JR station. What a great design!
