No, I will not be getting a JR pass as I won't be traveling frequently enough for it. But I'll definitely keep this in mind when buying my ticket to get a good amount of time in between transfers. Thanks a lot!

Okay, so I guess I just have to keep that Hachijo East entrance in mind, really. I think I'll definitely print this map out for safe keeping. And by reserving, do you mean at the ticket machine? Cause I really would like a little bit more time in between my transfer just in case anything goes wrong. 30 minutes would be perfect. I appreciate the help, this eased my worries a little bit!

Hi guys, I'm planning a trip to Japan and I will be alone for a couple days so I'm trying to plan a step-by-step guide for myself as I fear getting lost in the stations. At one point, I will be leaving Kansai Airport to travel to Tokyo and back. There is a route on Hyperdia indicating I will be leaving via Haruka Limited Express and will be arriving in Kyoto to transfer to the Shinkansen to Tokyo. When I arrive on track 30 in Kyoto station, I have to make it all the way to track 12 for the Shinkansen line...in under 15 minutes?! Is this doable? I have no way of changing transfer times; the train leaves when the train leaves. I'm just very, very nervous with finding my way around the station and getting on the right track in such a short amount of time. I will be having to do the same when I have to travel back to the airport to head home. Can someone relieve me of this travel anxiety?!
