Is it a good idea to get a jrpass for:
Arriving at Narita
* Tokyo 4 nights
* Kyoto 4 nights (one of these might be spent in Nara/Osaka)
* Koyasan 1 night
* Takayama 2 nights
* Shirakawa-go, Ogimachi 1 night
* Visit Jigokudani
* Tokyo 2-3 nights
Depart.
Hi there!
Looking at the your planned route, I think that it would be best to travel using normal tickets. This because most of your travel from Takayama - Shikarawago and Ogimachi in addition to Jigokudani is mostly covered by bus and private railway.
When you arrive at Narita Airport, consider buying a [Suica + Narita Express package]to get a discounted ticket on the Narita Express and a prepaid travel card (Suica) which you can use to pay for local travel in Tokyo and other parts in Japan.
Enjoy Japan!
Daniel
