That is, green cars even on some commuter trains will tilt to face direction of travel at their end stations. You can see it happen e.g. at Tokyo station after a Tokkaido line train arrives, after all passengers exit and the doors close.

For Shinkansen and express trains, this is a given, usually even in second class, apart from the rare reserved compartments, and some airport trains where the space between back-to-back seats is used to store luggage.
