My family will be travelling to Tokyo from 1st March until 10th March 2018.
we will arrive and depart from Narita Airport.

Once we reach Tokyo Station from Narita Airport, we are planning to directly depart to Kyoto.
What is the difference between Hikari and Kodama shinkansen ?
Do I need to pay extra amount if I opt for Hikari shinkansen ? I am planning to buy JR 7 day pass for my trip .

Below are our route plan for our trip :

Tokyo > Kyoto > Osaka > Nara > Tokyo > Gala Yuzawa > Tokyo

We are planning to spend 5 days in Kansai area.
Can you suggest a moderate itinerary to cover Kyoto , Nara and Osaka.

Hi there,

The amount of stops that the train makes is the difference between the Kodama and Hikari train services, both are free with the JR Pass.

An example itinerary can be found here:

Let me know what you are interested and I can give you some more specific recommendations.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
