1) We're flying to Beijing through NRT in early April. As the flight in and the flight out are both in terminal 2, I hope we can just walk between gates, rather than go through immigration, etc. Is this right?

2) We're flying back to NRT later in April and want to continue on to Kyoto on the bullet train. Is NRT express to bullet train through Tokyo the best way to go?

3) If plane is scheduled to land in NRT at 1pm, how much time should it take to get to the NRT express to Tokyo? How much time from scheduled Tokyo arrival to Tokaido&Sanyo Shinkansen departure for Kyoto?

4) It seems train reservations can not be made more than a month in advance. Is this right?

5) Finally, it seems a Japan Railpass will not cover the Kyoto bullet train: "The JAPAN RAIL PASS is not valid for any seats, reserved or nonreserved, on "NOZOMI" trains on the Tokaido and San'yo Shinkansen lines." Is this right?
