I have to get some tickets in a few days exactly at 10am and want to be able to line up in a Midori-no-madoguchi so the JR folks can hit the purchase button for me exactly at that time. Kyoto Station is going to be mobbed with tourists and I think Yamashina is very busy too, so I should probably avoid both of those. Does anyone have a suggestion of which station I could try – one which wouldn't be packed on a weekday morning?
Some stations used to let people looking to buy tickets like this line up in a separate line (I can go early to do this) but I know many have gotten rid of that system too.
It looks like the best choice would be either Nijo or Nagaokakyo, if anyone has advice about these (never been to either) or others. Thanks!

NAGAOKAKYO is probably the least crowded. Just tons of Murata employees, but they aren’t lining up to get tickets.
The Midori-no-madoguchi in Nagaokakyo Station is open from 8:00-20:00. Good luck!
