Train Schedule info
 
Will appreciate any info. on train schedules between Nagoya to Kyoto

One site to search for Japanese train times is www.hyperdia.com

Trains between Nagoya and Kyoto is so frequent that there a Shikansen Nozomi (the fastest train - takes 36 minutes between the two) every few minutes, so you don't need a schedule for those. One way cost is 5,640 yen.

The slower Hikari trains (50 minutes) are less frequent. If you're using a JR pass, then you have to take those because the pass doesn't work on Nozomis.

rkkwan: Thanks for the info. Tried the website hyperdia.com but it is all in japanese.
I arrive in Nagoya at approx. 10:00 a.m. and would like to make a flying visit Mt. Fuji and return to Kyoto the same day. Will this be possible by train and if so will appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks.

In hyperdia.com, click on the button that says "English" in the top left corner to get everything in English.
