Hi there,

I must say that it is quite hard to match a rail pass to your itinerary. A 7-day JR Pass would have been a great option when you could use it to make a return Tokyo - Kyoto/Osaka. However, this period is longer than that so the next pass we could look at is the 14-day JR Pass.

Yet for the JR Pass to be cost efficient, you'd have to do a bit more travel. Like a side trip to Hiroshima.

As it stands now the best option is likely to buy normal tickets, though a 14 day JR Pass may quickly pay off when used for a bit more travel.

Kind regards,
Daniel
