えっ、あ、すみません！もしかしてわたし、ごうしゃをまちがえてますか？かくにんしますね。
Oh! I'm so sorry! Did I get the car number wrong? Let me double-check.
Gesture & etiquette
Hold your own ticket with both hands and bow your head slightly while asking in a soft voice.
Do not directly accuse the person by saying 'You are in my seat.' Asking for their seat and car number politely prevents unnecessary tension and avoids embarrassment if you are actually the one in the wrong car.
