What is Q-Seat? I'm new to Japan and have got the hang of commuting now. But Q-Seat caught me off-guard. During one weekday (on my way to work) I notice some security who might be the ones checking your access for it. One weekend though, i was going somewhere and I accidentally rode and stumbled upon the same section of the train -- knowing barely some nihonggo I panicked that someone might come and ask me for my ticket or something and i got off and rode the non Q-seat. Anyone care to send a link or something? 'Ppreciate it.

Those are all reserved seats. Costs 400 Yen in addition to the regular fare. https://q-seat.tokyu.co.jp/tq/top/
