I want to go from Tokyo to Best Western Hotel Kansai Airport. Can I use my JR RailPass? I have checked timetable site but I only see Nozumi Shinkansen, and JR RailPass is not valid on Nozumi Shinkansen. Ken

WiFi is technically available on the Shinkansen, but you have to register with a WiFi hotspot provider in advance which requires you to jump though a lot of registration hoops (more in Japanese). Because of this I think your options are:

I've rented a mobile wifi device in Japan before and found it invaluable, so highly recommend this option!

Hope this helps!
