Japan Visit -29 April until 2 May 2014

We arrive by ship in Osaka at the Tempozan Pier and will travel to Kyoto for one night. On the evening of 30 April we will travel to Tokyo (Tokyo Station) staying 2 nights. Then going to Narita on 2 May to fly home on United Airlines.

1. Should we purchase a rail pass? ( Will be using train from Osaka to Kyoto(29Apr) Kyoto to Tokyo(30 Apr.) On 2 May Tokyo to Narita.)

2. If yes to the rail pass. Do we purchases it before leaving the USA?

3. How long does it take to get to Narita from the Tokyo Station? How often do the trains run? Is United Airlines in Terminal 1 or 2?

4. How do we travel from (or the best and cheapest way) the cruise dock(Tempozan Pier) to Kyoto Station in Kyoto? We will a large suite case each -----any idea of the cost of a taxi from the dock to the train station for Kyoto?

Thank you for your help, Frank and Sarah -SF,CA
