We are arriving at NRT and will take the train to Tokyo (Central) staying in tokyo for a few days and then will travel to Kyoto, by bullet train. Will the purchase of JR pass cover this?
Hi, Yes, you can take the Narita Express from Narita, and a Hikari bullet train to go to Tokyo. You can check on train info on Hyperdia - you can see regular fares, routes, and schedules. http://www.hyperdia.com For Hyperdia, under "More Options", with a full JR pass, be sure to uncheck the Nozomi box since you can't ride that train using the JR pass.
