Hi there,

Seats can be reserved at any JR Station. Show your JRPass and tell the staff where and when you wish to travel. They will then reserve the seats free of charge.

It depends what airport you are coming from. I assume Kansai Airport as it is closest for international flights. There is a direct train connection between Kansai Airport and Kyoto, this is the Haruka Express and will get you from one place to the other in 80 minutes.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
