Does JR in Japan mean high-speed rail? Excuse me, can this high-speed rail line go directly to Kyoto? How long will the price take? And this high-speed rail line can be used in asakusa.
JR is the abbreviation of Japan Railway Corporation, which has two systems: ordinary train and Shinkansen. From Tokyo Station, you can take the Shinkansen (high-speed train) to Kyoto. One-way price 13080 yen. There are multiple flights every day, leaving at 10 in the morning and every 10 minute. It takes 2 hours 17-38 minutes. Shinkansen cannot be taken directly at Asakusa Bridge. Take the JR General Warrior Line from Asakusa Bridge to Akihabara, then transfer to Yamanote Line and enter the ticket gate of Shinkansen at Tokyo Station.
