narita to kyoto

Hello there,

While 12 min is plenty of time to make the transfer at Shinagawa or Tokyo, I am more worried about your arrival time and getting on the Narita Express.

Going through customs can take a long time on a busy day. Then you have to pick up your luggage and activate the JR Pass. All together there is a chance that you won't be able to catch the last train connection to Kyoto.

Consider staying the 1st night in Tokyo and traveling on the following morning in order to avoid the chance of getting stuck somewhere.

Hope this helps,
Daniel

We'll do that.
Many thanks.
