Hi,
We are planning to go to Japan, and we are thinking of buying JRpass, because we will visit several cities.
However we have doubts regarding the lines, stations and schedules, as there is a lot of different information on travel sites.
We would like some suggestions for trains using the Jrpass for what we are looking for:
01- We want a train suggestion coming out of Tokyo to Kyoto on 07/jun/2018 that left around 6:00 a.m. until 7:00 a.m.
02- Our other schedule is with departure from Kyoto to Nara on 08/jun/2018 at around 7:00 a.m. with return around 02:00 p.m. We wanted to stop at Fushimi Inari, get to know the place, and go back to Kyoto around 05:00 p.m.
03- To finalize, take the train in Kyoto to Tokyo, between 07:00 p.m. and 09:00 p.m. hours still on 08/jun/2018.

Regards

Roberta

Hi Roberta,

For travel times, I recommend learning to plan with Hyperdia this way you can find any route/timetable and more. It's a great tool for planning with the JR Pass. We also have a useful interactive map with all JR lines included.

1.) To go into a little more detail, the first train you can get on departs at 6:26. Details are here.

2.) This is a local service and you have a possible train about every 15minutes taking 60-90 min between Kyoto and Nara.

3.) Here are some train suggestions for the route back.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
