Some visitors to Japan have flown into the country at Osaka International Airport. While in the "neighborhood", they will tour Osaka and Kyoto. Some my opt to go up to Tokyo from there.
Japan Cheapo has an article on the fastest and cheapest ways of getting to Tokyo from Kyoto.
They begin with:
Getting from Kyoto to Tokyo is quick and easy, as it’s one of the most popular travel routes in Japan. The old capital is separated from its contemporary counterpart by roughly 450km, which can be traversed by bullet train, overnight bus or another type of transport—all depending on your budget and available time.
If you’re doing any other trips within Japan, buying a Japan Rail Pass is almost definitely your best option, as it pays for you to go up, down and all over the country on the Shinkansen. If you’re just planning a single Kyoto to Tokyo trip, a one-way bullet train ticket may prove better for your bank balance (select Kyoto as the departing station). There are also some good-value train and hotel combo packages, starting at US$234.31* for two days. But read on for a more comprehensive breakdown of your options.
