Green JR Pass for a 3 year old

No need for a green pass IMHO.The normal class is very good quality,and if you book your seats you will be comfortable.

For the small child.Unless the train is very full,they can sit in a space..but if the train is completely full then they will be expected to share the seat of one of the parents/brothers or sisters.How full it will be depends on the type of train,where you take it,what time of day etc etc.

Green Car not worth the extra money. Just get reserved seats (so you are all together) in normal class.

My family and I will be travelling with the JR Pass between Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto in November.

Are you sure you want an expensive JR pass? Individual tickets might be more convenient, cheaper, and faster.

Also, we are planning on getting the green 1st class ones. Are they worth it?

Worth it depends on you. With kids having to pay full fare for Green Cars I would think twice.

What do you suggest? Do you know how crowded these trains go?

Depends on the train, the date, and the time of day. I rarely have to stand, but then I thankfully get to avoid the Friday afternoon rush hour more often than not.

One more question if you don't mind.

We will start using the JR Pass on a Wednesday, however we arrive on the Monday that week and we are planning to visit Tokyo those two days.

What would be the best way to travel around the Tokyo train stations with kids? Should I buy train tickets for each of our trips or is there an easier way?

I have heard of a card that you can just add money to and that lets you travel across stations, so maybe I should buy 5 of those.

Thanks again for your suggestions!

Yes,Suica or Pasmo card.

Suica and Pasmo are the two Tokyo-area stored-value cards. Suica can be bought at JR stations, including the one at Narita airport. Pasmo is available from private railway or Tokyo Metro stations. They work exactly the same.

Thank you so much everybody,

One last question if you don't mind.

If you were travelling with small children and you wanted to get to a Shinjuku hotel from Narita on the quickest and easiest way, what would you do?

Is Taxi the way to go?
Truly appreciated!

Depends on your budget I guess..taxi is not cheap.But its certainly the 'easiest'.Probably not the quickest...time depends on time of day and how much traffic there is.

Train is not too tough.Keisei Line..there are faster and slower (and cheaper) versions.You have to change train once.Or the more expensive Narita Express,which is direct.

There is also direct limousine bus,but I've never taken it...I always go by train.

If I were as rich as Croesus, I would consider a taxi. Otherwise, I would probably take the limo bus, which (depending on hotel) could provide a direct connection with no changes. Info is here: https://www.limousinebus.co.jp/en/
