Hello,
above is our plan. Two travellers and more than a month traveling time. We are wondering, what kind of rail passes we should have to cover this journey.
Nagoya - Takayama -Nikko - Hakone- Kyoto -Kobe- Okayama- Hiroshima- Fukuoka- Kagoshima- Amami - Kagoshima- Nagoya

Hi there,
The JR Pass covers travel between all of the above places. Reading your itinerary I can tell that a JR Pass could certainly be useful.
Depending on your planning, you could either consider a 14 day or 21 day JR Pass.
I can give you a better match if you let me know how many days you spend in each place.

This I should have done in first place:
Nagoya 24. October-26. October
Takayama 26.10. -28.10
Nikko 28.10 October -3.11. November
Kanagawa, Hakone 3.11 -6.11
Kyoto 6.11 - 10.11
Kobe 10.11. -12.11
Okayama 12.11 -14.11
Hiroshima 14.11 -17.11
Fukuoka 17.11. -19.11
Kagoshima 19.11.- 20.11
Amami 21.11-26.11
Kagoshima 27.11- 29.11
Nagoya 29.11.- 30.11
Much better!
That's one great plan but at the same time pretty hard to match a JR Pass to. How solid is your plan so far? Would it be possible to re-schedule some things?
Right now I am tempted to say go for a 21 day JR Pass and a 14 day JR Pass but possible this could be reduced with some planning.
Hope to hear from you!
Daniel
PS: The ferry to Amami is not included.

That Amami is fixed, because of the ferry, Nikko is fixed too, but everything else can be changed.
Okay! I think the best way to go about this is to get a list of ticket prices and see how this stacks up to buying JR Passes.
So let's go!
Nagoya - Takayama ¥ 5,830
Takayama - Nikko ¥ 18,600
Nikko - Hakone ¥ 8,840
Hakone - Kyoto ¥ 11,880
Kyoto - Kobe ¥ 1,080
Kobe - Okayama ¥ 5,390
Okayama - Hiroshima ¥ 5,820
Up to here would be 56360 with 21 days of travel
Hiroshima - Fukuoka ¥ 8,740
Fukuoka - Kagoshima ¥ 10,250
Kagoshima - Nagoya ¥ 25,050
this part is ¥ 44,040 or ¥ 100,400 total
The 21 day JR Pass is 59,350 YEN and the 14 day JR Pass is 46,390 YEN. So each time you would be just below the cost of a JR Pass. However you could for instance switch Fukuoka and your 2nd visit to Kagoshima around and arrive you could cover an additional ¥ 18,990 this way with the 21 day JR Pass (Hiroshima - Fukuoka ¥ 8,740
and Fukuoka - Kagoshima ¥ 10,250). This way you would suddenly make significant savings. You could then make a stop over between Kagoshima - Nagoya at Fukuoka, this would also spread your travel time around better.
Does that make sense?
