Tokyo - Takayama - Kyoto - Narita

Hi there,

I've been researching the fastest ways to get from Tokyo to Takayama, then later from Takayama to Kyoto, then from Kyoto to Narita Airport using only the JR pass.

However, I've been getting some very long times (like 10 hours) when if I search it the opposite way it is much shorter (like 3 hours).

Would you be able to help me with the fastest routes with least changeovers (lots of luggage!)? Also how regular would these times be? We'd probably be looking at travelling in the morning/afternoon but escaping peak hour - any tips for the time?

Thanks a lot for your help

Cheers
