Direction from Kyoto to Tokyo
After SETA 2009, some people might go to Tokyo to attend FESAMES 2009.
Shinkansen (bullet train--Nozomi, Hikari, and Kodama, all of them are names of Shinkansen) departs JR Kyoto station to JR Tokyo station.
Here is a timetable: http://english.jr-central.co.jp/info/timetable/_pdf/eastbound.pdf
