JR pass expiring over midnight

[superzheny]

Good day all, I'm currently in Japan with a JR pass, have a rather specific question.

My JR pass expires 7nov 2359, I have booked my sunrise izumo (overnight sleeper train) departing before 7Nov 2359 (thus still covered fully by JR pass) and arriving in Tokyo at 8Nov 7am. I thereafter have a short window to transfer to my narita express (have already reserved a seats, paid using cash as JR pass is no longer valid).

As this is a JR to JR transfer, I will not need to exit at Tokyo Station, can just walk to the other train.

My question I this, how do I exit at narita Station? Do I use my JR pass, which is no longer valid? Does the narita express ticket cover base fare?

Reason I'm asking now instead of just figuring it out at the station is because I have a flight to catch very very soon after arriving at narita so hoping to optimise my journey to the check in gate.

Thanks all in advance.

The station at Narita should have a window with train officer at one of the exits so if your ticket don't work just show both to the officer.
Some JR to Jr transfer you need to exit and enter thru another platform - I think.

I'm just afraid things will get delayed.. When I booked the sunrise izumo at Kyoto Station, the ticket office staff did not even know that train existed

Most of the time the trains are on the dot, the exceptions are probably due to snow & accidents.
But right now international arrivals and departure are in kind of a shamble - for departure you'd probably need a 2-1/2 hr buffer
