Here is the gouge someone posted before on jetflyers.
NRT-KIX Bullet Train
-Get late checkout @1200 (or 0915 or 0745) from Hilton.
-Catch the 1220 (or 0930 or 0800) A/P bus to Terminal 2.
-At Term 2, take escalator or elevator down 3 floors to (1B) Trains.
-Go to Narita Express ticket counter (Red). You will arrive here @0+20 from hotel departure. Tell them you want the following:
-Ticket #1: 13:18 (10:18 or 8:53 or next available) Narita Express to Shinagawa within a Green Car (First Class) this leg is 1+05 block.
-Ticket #2: 14:37 (11:37 or 10:17 or next available provides a 0+15 turn = ample time) Nozomi Bullet Train (fastest, up to 270km/h or 168 mph) to Shin-Osaka (Green Car, ask for a "D" row window seat (16D preferred) if you want to be on the Mt Fuji side. This leg is 2+29 block with a 17:06 (or 14:06 or 12:43) arrival.
-Charge to your FedEx Crew M/C. Cost= ¥23,330 ($230.06 @101.41 as of 6/30/14). You will end up with three green tickets and one green receipt.
-Walk to gate (red signage). Use your basic fair ticket for the Narita Express, labeled "Narita Airport Terminal 2-Osaka City Zone" only (not your Shinagawa ticket) to get through the turnstile. Then down escalator one level to Narita Express (green signage) find your car (most likely #6 right turn at bottom of escalator) loading point & wait for your depart time. You will get to this point with about a 25 (or 10 or 25) min wait.
-Stay on Narita Express train through Tokyo until following stop at Shinagawa Station (14:22/11:22/10:02)
-At Shinagawa Station stop; get off and escalator up one level, go left to Shinkansen Line for the Nozomi train Put all three of your ticket stubs through the turnstile (one at a time), it should keep the one from the Narita Express. Grab a Japanese box lunch or Starbucks sandwich if desired before going down the escalator to Track 23 or 24 (Car 8-10). Current best estimated for the abeam point of Mt Fuji is ~0+34 from the Shinagawa Station departure. I only saw it on the first trip and did not get the time-marker for it. If anyone gets it, please let provide it back to me via [email]and I shall update this. That also goes for anything else you find in need of correction and/or refinement.
-At Shin-Osaka Station, escalator down one and out turnstile. Put all remaining ticket stubs (one at a time) through the turnstile (it keep them all). Then down one more level. Follow signs to Subway, (a jog right then left ) go left past McDonalds on your left and go to the ticket kiosk buy a ¥280 Midosuji Line (Red Line) to Namba Station ticket (M13 to M20), go through turnstile and take escalator to the right to "Namba" (Red) board #1 train on your right side at the top of the escalator. This last leg take 0+33 from the time you disembark the Bullet Train to arriving at the Swiss Hotel front desk.
-Get off at M20, go left to the elevator, up one level, and out turnstile (eats your ticket/receipt). Go South (straight ahead) and follow center walkway for about 300 yards following the red Takashimaya signs to escalators (x3) up to Swiss Hotel lobby.
or Exit #4 up to street level walk two blocks to Swiss Hotel lobby.
