Hi there, Here are some answers for you:
Yes, that's correct
You can get to Kyoto from Osaka by JR train: http://goo.gl/PNJxp
You can get between these two cities by JR train: http://goo.gl/Gp7ho
You can get between these two cities by JR bullet train: http://goo.gl/GLEBn
You can get between these two cities by JR wideview train: http://goo.gl/tWGt6
You can get here by JR train - I recommend the hayabusa if you can reserve a seat: http://goo.gl/WfvRX
You can get most of the way there by JR train: http://goo.gl/JEAfp
The main rule you have to be aware of with the JR Pass is that you cannot use the Nozomi classs bullet trains. All other bullet trains, trains & buses are available to holders of the rail pass. For some sleeper trains you may have to pay a room surcharge. The Tokaido shinkansen is covered by the JR Pass, excepting nozomi class trains. You can plan your routes at the Hyperdia website. We have a blog post on how to best use Hyperdia for holders of the rail pass. Hope this helps! |
