HIDA Express - Takayama to Kyoto

We have purchased the 14 day green class JR pass as part of our trip will be during Golden Week.

We will be travelling from Takayama to Kyoto 23 April -

The only direct train around 3pm doesn't appear to have a green class option at that time. Are we best to do a change in Nagoya? Do you know would the change be on the same platform - and worth doing or is the direct train much more convenient? As it's one of the longer journeys we think green class will be a nice bonus. Anything else to consider before booking?

Also Is there a preferred side of the train to sit that you'd recommend?

Thanks again for the great advice
