Hi daniel
In my previous appeal to you, I asked:
"If I land at Narita at 17:15 and plan to go to Kyoto in the same evening, can I activate and validate the pass at Narita terminal? I saw that JR counters at Narita close at 18:00. "
Your answer was: ".) I would recommend against it, the last train connection is at 19:00 to Kyoto and right now immigration can take hours due to the high amount of visitors in Japan. My advice would be to book a room in Tokyo or Yokohama and travel on the following morning, this will make your arrival much more relaxed!"
1. I saw now an internet question and answer regarding opening hours of JR Service Centre as follows:
"Where can I buy JR Pass in Narita Terminal 1?
There is a JR East Travel Service Centre on the B1 floor, and this is where you should head to for your rail pass activation.
It is open from 6:30 am until 9:45 pm, so make sure to take note of that."
Is it true ?
2. When I look on the 23.4.23 time table of trains from Tokyo station to Kyoto, I see the following departure times on :
19:30, 20:00, 20:33, 21:03, and 21:24. Is this time table wrong ?
3. If both (1 and 2) are correct, don't you think that I can keep my original plan to go to Kyoto on the evening of arrival ?
4. If I take your advise and stay in Tokyo the first night, will I be able to use my JR pass for the ride: Narita - Tokyo station,
or in case that the JR counters at Narita will be closed, I'll have to purchase this ticket separately ?
In this case where do I buy this ticket in Narita terminal 1 ?
Thanks again
Igal
Time of activation and time table
Hi Igal,
1.) There are a couple more Nozomi trains in the evening from Tokyo, however these are not included in the JR Pass. Also, please note that the departure is from Narita Airport station, not Tokyo station. You can check schedules here:
https://japantravel.navitime.com/en/area/jp/route/result?start=00001948&goal=00001756&start_name=Narita%20Airport%20Terminal%202%203&goal_name=Kyoto&date_time=2023-03-31T18%3A54&japan_rail_pass=true
4.) The JR office is open until 21:45 at Narita airport, so you can exchange your pass and travel to Tokyo, do note that this would be count as one day of your pass.
Kind regards,
Daniel
