Hello there,

For this itinerary it is better to buy a normal train ticket. The most expansive travel here is travel from Tokyo - Osaka using the Shinkansen. Osaka, Kyoto and Kobe are all very close together and travel between them is not very expansive.

A JR Pass would be a great option if you returned to Tokyo after this itinerary.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
