Hi German Rico, all Japan Rail Pass MCO’s are shipped out physicaly. We do however ship with express alternatives using UPS, so it shouldn’t take more than a couple of days – regardless of where you live.

As for connection between Narita Airport and Kyoto, JR is connected with the Narita Express. There is almost a non-stop way. You will have to do a quick train change in Tokyo or Shinagawa (Shinagawa being the best alternative in my opinion) from the Narita Express train to a Hikari Shinkansen train. The train from Tokyo to Kyoto or Shinagawa to Kyoto is without any changes along the way. There isn’t any train directly from Narita Airport at this moment, so this is your fastest alternative.

All mentioned trains are covered and icluded in the JR Pass.

Hope it was of help and please let me know if there’s anything we can do to help.

With kind regards, Jonathan H.
