I think the bus is the best way to get Hamada from Shinjuku. If it's Shinkansen, you will need to change the train in Hiroshima, but the bus you can get Shimane directly. There was Express Bus, but it has been canceled since 2015.

How about hiring a guide in Sapporo? You can enjoy the Sapporo Central Wholesale Market with your own guide. The private guides are relatively affordable in Japan. So you can contact them before your trip and make a plan. The Crab Market is just unforgettable!

To reserve the 指定席(reserved seat), you need to go Midori no Madoguchi (JRみどりの窓口) or official travel agent of JR to reserve. I've never tried, but I heard it's possible to do that online at えきねっと.As for the 自由席 (unreserved seats), you just need to show your Rail Way pass.
