Bullet Train to Tokyo

Saturday morning and time to head home...

Our last morning in Kyoto, starting with one last great room service breakfast.

 
 
 
And one more look at the area around the hotel, before our 10:45AM taxi pickup.
 
 
 
 
 
 

Our just under four hour trek to Narita started with our 2h15m Nozomi service from Kyoto station to Tokyo station.

Very glad that our driver escorted into the station and to the correct track.  Since we had to make a connection, the electronic gates required both tickets before it would open the door for us.  Happy we had some extra time to figure that one out.

Same comfy seats and configuration as three days earlier.

"Fresh" towel to all newly boarding F pax.

And "First Class" beverage and snack service, for a fee. 

On time arrival on track 17 at Tokyo Station.  Although I knew we were heading for tracks 3 and 4, crowds and lack of clear English signs made it 20 minute trek before we finally found the right correct Narita Express tracks.

Not quite as comfy as the Nozomki but still a pleasant ride to the bowels of Terminal 1.
