Thank you to everyone who has answered my original question! I'll be flying into and out of NRT, 7 days apart, so my best bet might be the Rail Pass. When I google 'japan rail pass' I see plenty of adverts for companies that seem to sell them...are they all selling the same kind of pass?

At this point, I think that I'll have time to visit only Tokyo and Kyoto.

If you have the rail pass, can you just get on a train and grab a seat, or do you need to reserve one in advance or at the station?
