I'm confused abut train names & timetables (and I'm obviously wanting to use my train pass). Can someone please give me guidance on this.
For 12th April, I'm looking to leave Kyoto around about 1:30 pm but these appear to be conflicting results
Google says:
1:26 pm
Kyoto Station
ShinkansenJR Tokaido / Sanyo Shinkansen towards Tokyo
2 h 10 min (3 stops) · Platform 11,12
Hyperdia says:
13:33
begin KYOTO [ Departure track No.12 ]
SHINKANSEN HIKARI 522
Are these one and the same train, and if so… why 7 minutes apart in departure times?
Any ideas? I like using the google maps, because I can see the whole route from Hotel to Hotel, as well, but it's getting worrisome that I might miss a main train/connection is I rely on their timetable at all!
Thanks
