Anyway the flight is confirmed and payed for by now so there's not much I can do. It still might not be too late to change; you may wish to check with whoever is arranging your travel. Especially if you're starting your work in Kyoto immediately upon arrival - I certainly wouldn't want to have to show up to a meeting or whatever after just arriving in Narita and THEN following that up with the train trip you'll need to get to Kyoto. Yes, Narita really IS that inconvenient if Kyoto is your destination; KIX is greatly preferable. Actually, I think you'll find that you can get from Narita to Kyoto via the Shinkansen faster than you can get from KIX via either the bus or the combination of trains, depending on the time of day, even though the distance is double. Getting to and from KIX is a real pain! Nonsense. Haruka from KIX to JR Kyoto is 80 minutes, every half hour. Narita to Kyoto via the best connection and fastest Nozomi is probably 4 hours. But if he wants to see Tokyo, it makes sense to fly in there, and the train trip has its own attractions. Steve Kramer Chiang Mai, Thailand http://www.photoenvisions.com David |
