There is also apparently an amazing app for using transit in Japan, my friend told me about it but I forget the name. He said it has every schedule, tells you where to go & when, the departure times, etc. for normal trans and the bullet trains. I guess there is also one bullet train company that doesn't accept the JR pass, and you can filter it out of the search results in this app so you don't accidentally try to use it.
