Hi there,

In short Peace, quiet and more space.
I finished a 3 week tour using a green pass myself last April and and heartily recommend going for the upgrade. It's a much more relaxed experience than ordinary trains (no crying children for instance).

It does depend a little bit on where you travel but specially Green cars in Kyushu and the north of Japan are very luxurious and comfortable, complimentary drinks are also served in Hokkaido and Tohoku.

I hope this gives you an idea of what you can expect.
