Hi Foo Wei Wen,

As you will be travelling through many regions, we recommend using the Japan Rail Pass. In general, we advise a regional pass if you stay within 1 or 2 regions, like Tohoku, Kansai or Kyushu. You are travelling all over the place and a JR Pass is by far the best option.

For further details, I recommend reading:

Kind regards,
