Feels a bit posh to use a Shinkansen for just one stop, but it's one advantage to having a JR Rail Pass for unlimited travel.

Observations: the unreserved carriages are basically economy. If you are doing quick city hops though they will do.

TravelerNot sure if it was because we were heading to Kyoto or not, but it seemed like a lot of gaijin on this one. I think the locals use the no super fast train between Osaka and Kyoto that "only" takes 30 minutes because it's cheaper.
