Hello,

We are 4 persons who will arrive in Tokyo on April 14. I have the next questions:

We will land at 19.40 in Narita airport, and have the first night accomodation in Kyoto
1. Is there a shinkansen train at that late hour to go to Kyoto or we have to wait for the next day?
Our itinerary will be
* Tokyo airport * Kyoto (6 days ) and here we want to visit Kyoto city, go to Osaka one day and Nara on another day * Tokyo ( 4 days) visiting the city

  1. Is the 7 day JR pass worth it to purchase or is better to buy individual tickets?

  2. Can we take WiFi pocket even if we don't take JR pass?

Thank you a lot for any help!

Best regards!

Hi there,

The last service from Tokyo departs at 21:24, so I think you should be fine. Please make sure that you have activated your JR Pass and reserved a seat within the time between arrival into Narita and departure to Kyoto.

I would recommend purchasing your tickets individually. The only other option would be a Hokuriku Arch Pass but since you arrive so late you won't be able to make it to Kyoto the night you land via the Hokuriku Arch.

Also - yes you can purchase Pocket Wi-Fi without purchasing a JR Pass - the link for this can be found here.

Hope this helps!

Alexis
