Can someone clarify this for me. Looks to me like to get from Kyoto to Narita you need to go Kyoto to Tokyo station then change to Narita Express. Total time looks to be about 3.5 hours, not 2.5. Is there a direct Shinkansen service Kyoto station to Narita airport in 2.5 hours? On Japan Rail Pass so cannot use Nozumi.

Need to board BA NRT-LHR at 10:55 a.m.; judged this impossible departing from Kyoto that morning. Planning on returning to Tokyo night before to make this flight, which is far from preferable - so would really appreciate knowing if I have overlooked anything. Thanks!
