- Thunderbird service to Kanazawa (Day 2)
- Hokuriku-Shinkansen to Tokyo ( Day three)
- JR in Tokyo (day 4,5 & 6)
- Narita Express on day 7
Am I correct in assuming that I can activate the pass at 10:00 in Kyoto on the first day and use it on a Narita Express after 18:00. Otherwise, I will activate it earlier, as I won't be needing it in Tokyo (except for the express).
The pass is valid for seven consecutive calendar days from midnight to midnight. With your itinerary pass bought outside Japan just gets above break even but not by much. If NEX is not the best way to get to Narita for you, forget aboout the pass and buy individual tickets.
