One of the great things about trains in Japan is that you can be confident that they'll be on time, usually down to the margin of a few seconds, which allows you to book an onward train that leaves only minutes after your train is due to arrive. This is the kind of connection timing that you could never attempt with air travel.
At Nagoya Station 名古屋駅 I left the mountain train and found the Shinkansen 新幹線 gates, grabbed another snack and within ten minutes was boarding the Green Car of another N700 Hikari ひかり bound for Kyoto 京都.
On the non-stop Nozomi のぞみ (Wish) super express service the trip takes just half an hour, while the Hikari ひかり makes a few stops and thus takes a little longer, but is included in the Japan Rail Pass.
