Shinkansen notes:
If you are planning a day trip to Kyoto from another city keep the following in mind:
The last Shinkansen departure of the night bound for Tokyo is at 9:34PM on the Nozomi 64,
and the last Shinkansen departure of the night bound for Osaka is at 11:32PM on the Nozomi 265.
The Japan Rail Pass is not valid on the Nozomi trains, so plan accordingly by leaving
earlier on the Hikari or Kodama trains to avoid getting stuck in Kyoto overnight.
