I am travelling to Japan for the first time and will be using a 14 day JR rail pass. In cities such as Osaka, Kyoto and Tokyo is their a central railway station in each city where the bullet train services between cities depart and arrive? For example is the Kyoto Rail Station the right place to board such a service to Tokyo or elsewhere?
If there is a central station in each city this will make finding a hotel nearby in each city much easier
Thanks
