my daughter is living in Kyoto for a year and i will be flying into Tokyo Narita in February to visit her and would like to ride the train from Tokyo to Kyoto.

Thanks.

Are you planning on staying in tokyo or going straight from narita to kyoto? If the latter than why not just fly from narita to osaka and catch the limobus or train from itami or kansai airport? Ridding in on the NEX and having to naviagate tokyo station isnt fun when you've just goten off a long plane ride and it's your first time in japan.

Ps. If your flying in on united/ana/air canada you can buy a japan airpass for JPY 11500 yen per segement + tax which is pretty close to how much the train costs between tokyo and osaka. Jal also offers a similar deal.
