Hi there!

Normally a 7 day Japan Rail Pass becomes cost effective when you spend over ¥28,300 on JR tickets within a 7 day period. As you'll be doing some travel interspersed with fairly long periods of training, I don't think a rail pass is a good option in your case as you won't hit this minimum amount needed to make a rail pass cost effective.

As you'll be staying in Tokyo for a fairly long period of time (and commuting), I recommend you purchase a single [Narita Express => Tokyo + SUICA prepaid travel card deal on arrival] on arrival. This will allow you to get some discounted travel on the Tokyo subway and JR/other train lines in Tokyo and get you into town. When the SUICA card runs out of prepaid charge, you can top it up at metro and JR stations as needed.

For your travel to and from Osaka and Saitama I recommend purchasing single JR train tickets (bullet and normal), or looking into travelling on highway buses if you are on a tight budget and have lots of time. I don't recommend using low cost airlines as they are often time consuming and tiring over relatively short distances.

For reference, here is a basic itinerary to get you started:

  1. Narita airport terminal 1 > Tokyo: ¥3,140 (62mins, 79km)
  2. Tokyo > Korakuen: ¥160 (9mins, 3km, incl. non-JR)
  3. Korakuen > Tokyo: ¥160 (10mins, 3km, incl. non-JR)
  4. Tokyo > Osaka: ¥13,950 (194mins, 556km)
  5. Osaka > Tokyo: ¥13,950 (194mins, 556km)
  6. Tokyo > Jimbocho: ¥160 (7mins, 2km, incl. non-JR)
  7. Jimbocho > Setagaya: ¥480 (32mins, 12km, incl. non-JR)
  8. Setagaya > Jimbocho: ¥480 (33mins, 12km, incl. non-JR)
  9. Jimbocho > Saitama-shintoshin: ¥500 (42mins, 27km, incl. non-JR)
  10. Saitama-shintoshin > Jimbocho: ¥610 (45mins, 30km, incl. non-JR)
  11. Jimbocho > Tokyo: ¥160 (8mins, 2km, incl. non-JR)
  12. Tokyo > Narita airport terminal 1: ¥3,140 (58mins, 79km)

I hope this helps!
