Jr Train route

Hi there,

Kuramae is a station on the Toei Subway Asakusa Line (not part of the JR Network). The best way to get there using the JR Pass is to take the Narita Express to Ueno station and from there use the metro to Kuramae.

To namba, take the subway to Tokyo station. From there you can use the Shinkansen to Shin-Osaka and from Shin-Osaka, local trains run to JR-Namba.

For travel times, I recommend learning to plan with Hyperdia this way you can find any route/timetable and more. It's a great tool for planning with the JR Pass. We also have a useful interactive map with all JR lines included.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
