JR from Narita aiport to Kyoto 2015/3/16 11:05
Hello,
we will arrive in Narita Aiport at 1:15 pm Terminal 1 and we have bought the JR Pass and have some doubts.

1) How do we do to go from Narit Aiport to Kyoto?
2) How long does it take?
3) Do we have to reserve in advance the trains?

If anyone could answer, we would appreciate it very much.
Thank you,
Elaine

1) How do we do to go from Narit Aiport to Kyoto?

By train via Tokyo Station. You can do the trip with just one transfer of trains along the way.

2) How long does it take?

About 4-4.5 hours

3) Do we have to reserve in advance the trains?

Yes for the Narita Express, bo for the shinkansen. But you can make reservations just before departure. While you're at it you may as well make reservations for your shinkansen connection to Kyoto too since it is free with the JR Pass.

when you exchange your jrpass, just ask for tickets to Kyoto. they will give you reservations there and then, do not transfer at Tokyo station though as it's a good distance apart. Transfer at Shinagawa.

Oh, good point. The transfer is much easier at Shinagawa Station.
