7 days in Tokyo and Kyoto

Hi there!

I would suggest buying a normal one way ticket for Tokyo - Kyoto, the JR Pass would have been a good choice if you made a return trip. Instead you could look at a Suica card this does make travel a lot easier as you don't have to buy a ticket for each leg or figure out the price each time you wish to travel.

The Haruka express between Kyoto - Kansai Airport is a limited express train and it is not possible to use Suica on it. I would recommend buying a ticket in advance, this way you can make seat reservations at the same time.

Have a good journey!

Hello Daniel,

Thank you for prompt response.

Sounds like Suica card makes more sense for travel within Tokyo.

From NRT to the hotel, how convenient is it to have 2-3 bags of luggage, plus a stroller and take the N'EX to Shinjuku and taxi to hotel? Will I have enough storage space on N'EX for all of my luggage? Airport Limousine drops off directly at the hotel. Of course, N'EX is cheaper at 1500 vs. 3100 for the Airport Limousine.

Thanks again.

Taking the NEX with luggage is absolutely no problem! There are special luggage compartments in every train car and it really is the best way to get fast into Tokyo. Of course I could understand taking the Limousine taxi if it stops right in from of your hotel.
