The Yamanote Line platforms at Shimbashi station. This is the nearest station to my hotel.
A JR East E231-500 Yamanote Line train approaching the platform at Shimbashi station. This train would be the clockwise direction train bound for Shinagawa, Shibuya and Shinjuku.
The electronic PID at the waiting area in Tokyo Terminal for the Shinkansen. The fastest Shinkansen service I can take with the Rail Pass is the Hikari.

This 700 Series Shinkansen at Kyoto Station is bound for Shin-Osaka.
The interior of a N700 Series train bound for Tokyo from where I am sitting. This is ordinary car, which for coach class is very spacious in leg room.
A 6-car E259 series Narita Express (NEX) train.
On my last day I decided to splurge a bit and go on the Green Car. Very nice seats.
In-train displays showing where the NEX is going.
My hotel also has a Toei Bus connection to Tokyo Station. This is the interior of a typical Tokyo bus. I've noticed Tokyo Metro has a lot of accessible buses, something I heard was uncommon only a few years ago.
