Scheduling during Obon holiday

We are arriving in Tokyo on Aug. 13 and are hoping to travel to Hiroshima on Aug. 14.

We understand that trains can get busy during the Obon holiday and reserving seats is advisable 3-4 days or more in advance. Obviously we cannot reserve that far in advance since we will be arriving just the day before.

We are planning on getting Green Passes which will allow us to use the Green Cars which we understand typically has more available seating.

What are the odds that we will be able to reserve Green Car seats for Aug. 14 travel if we exchange our voucher as soon as we arrive on Aug. 13?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Kindest Regards.
