Hello!

we will arriving with a friend in Tokyo on 15th and we will need to buy a JR pass for one week since we will spend 7 days in JP (approx 3 says in Tokyo and 2 days in KYoto and one day In Osaka).

we will be landing at the Narita airport and we will need to get the JR pass and also a wifi connection there.

can you suggest where the JR vendor is located at the airport?

After we will have to leave for our airbnb which is located downtown at the Shinokubo station.

any suggestion on how to get there?

we will need to travel from tokyo to kyoto on 18th...where is the train station in tokyo which leave for kyoto?

Thanks a lot for the help!

Hello Elena,

For exchanging the JR Pass at Narita Airport, please see:
https://www.jrpass.com/blogs/activating-the-jr-pass-at-narita-airport

Shinokubo is on the JR Yamanote loop line. Take the Narita Express from Narita Airport to Tokyo station, hop on the Yamanote line there and that's all.

For travel to Kyoto: go to Tokyo station using the Yamanote line (again) and there board a Hikari Shinkansen bound for Kyoto and Shin-Osaka. The JR Pass fully covers all of your travel.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
