(memo: The Shinkansen starts at Tokyo Station. You’ll need to travel from Narita Airport to Tokyo Station 1hr 30m)
None of them! The nationwide JR pass got significantly more expensive than buying a ticket to Kyoto and back recently, and none of the regional passes cover that stretch of track. The JR West pass does not cover any shinkansen east of Shin-Osaka (but does cover the local train from Shin-Osaka to Kyoto, JR be JRing).
Given that Flex Kyoto seems to have vanished, the cheapest way to get to Kyoto by shinkansen is something called a **Platt Kodama** (look it up). If you have plenty of time but are short on cash, there are also cheaper overnight buses. Train companies that aren’t JR (or rather, that aren’t one of the six companies called JR Something) tend to stay in one region each and none of them have shinkansen.
Thank you for your advices.
Overnight bus. Definitely cheaper.
