Just another quick question, am thinking of forwarding our luggage from Tokyo to our Hotel in Kyoto (Urban Hotel Kyoto) to eliminate the need to leave them at the hotel in Tokyo and also dragging them onto the train to Kyoto. Has anyone used the service, how much is it and how do you organise it?? is it something that you do through your hotel when you arrive???
We are going to do some exploring in the morning (tokyo) , then catching train to kyoto arriving at about 3pm, head to our hotel and then visit Fushimi Inari in the afternoon / sunset, will this work??? Apparently our hotel is only 5min walk from Fushimi Inari, is this correct, am I trying to squeeze too much in one day??.
Thank you all once again.

By all means, forward your luggage from one hotel to the next for hassle-free domestic travel. I do it all the time. Just go to the front desk for the service. Rates vary from one forwarding company to another but for Tokyo-Kyoto, a regular-size suitcase will be around 2,000 yen a piece. If you have more than one piece of luggage to be forwarded to the same address, most companies will give you a good discounted rate. Do this in the morning and the luggage will be in Kyoto the next day.
And no, you are not squeezing too much in a day at all. Your Shinkansen ride will be so smooth that you will arrrive in Kyoto in top shape.
