hi!

me and my mother are meeting in Kyoto, each coming from a different place,
one from Tokyo and the other from Narita airport.

if you could answer thees 3 questions regarding each place separately-

  1. Using JR pass, what is the smartest way to get to Kyoto?

  2. where is the nearest place to exchange the ticket we got in our country to the Japanese one?

  3. can we start using our pass the moment we exchange the ticket?

thank you so much!
have a great day,
