Hi, Can you please tell me if I will be able to get a reservation with a JR pass to travel from Tokyo to Kyoto on the 6 th may. I will only be arriving in Japan on the 3 red May. Thanks
As you are aware Golden Week is one of the biggest holidays in Japan. So if there is a specific train that you need to catch it would be best to make a reservation before hand. You will exchange your pass in Japan when you arrive. Then when you have exchanged your pass you can make a reservation at a ticket office. The trains from Tokyo to Kyoto depart every 30mins or so, so I'm sure you will be able to get on a train.
