Is there a need for the JRP or are individual tickets better?

Hey everyone! I'm travelling to Japan next year. Here's what my itinerary so far:
1. Land in Kansai INT, explore Osaka for 3 days and 2 nights (go to Universal studios)
2. Go to Tokyo and explore for 6 days, 5 nights
3. Go Tokyo Disneyland for 3 days and stay at the hotel
4. Travel to Narita Airport to fly back
I have yet to decide which cafes/touristy areas i would want to go yet but the theme parks are my main priority. What do you think? Should i get the JRP with the Nozomi ticket or just buy every ticket individually? Alternatively, should i just take a cab everywhere hahaha. I'm not sure, please help.

Hi there,

For your itinerary it seems that purchasing your tickets individually would be your most cost-effective option. Getting a Nozomi ticket for your itinerary seems like it would be an unnecessary added expense as a regular Shinkansen ticket is expensive enough ! But yes, train travel is definitely the only feasible mode of transport for your itinerary.

Kind regards,

Alexis
