These are the Nozomi, the Hikari and the Kodama. You should not take the Kodama because it stops at every station on the way and takes about four hours. The Nozomi is the fastest and most frequent train and travels between Shinagawa and Kyoto in just 2 hours and 10 minutes. However, the Nozomi is not covered by the Japan Rail Pass.
