I say fly into haneda (closer to tokyo than narita) instead of osaka and do the shinkansen to osaka. Its a nice trip, you can see a bit of the countryside of japan, grab breakfast to go at the train station and eat it on the train (trip is only 2.5hs, there is one that has fewer stops and it's the same price, (I think only makes 3 or 4 stops max). Osaka and Kyoto train stations alone are both really nice.
Make sure you try takoyaki / okonomiyaki in osaka, I hear from locals that is the best in japan.
For the shinkansen is best you buy unreserved seats, so in case you get lost you can take any train at any time. Unreserved seats are on carts 1, 2 and 3 only just be there 10 minutes early and you will find a window seat.
- Find a choco-cro and get pastry/ coffee from there on the train http://s3.amazonaws.…Miguex
