Hello Kara,

I am not completely sure about whether a JR Pass would help you make savings or not. You will be travelling a good amount but also stay locally in Tokyo and Kansai for a period. To be sure, I recommend using our fare calculator in order to put together the complete cost of your itinerary.

That said, you could include a couple of day trips a bit further to get the best out of a JR Pass and explore the more remote parts of Japan.

A couple of options that come to mind:

Onomichi a lovely and picturesque harbour town. You can make a beautiful hike up the mountain or visit one of the smaller Shikoku islands by ferry.

Hagi a small historic town to the north of Hiroshima.

Kumano Kodo pelgrim trail. Doing from Wakayama all the way to Shikoku.

Iya valley a very remote valley in the mountains of Shikoku.

Hope this helps!
Daniel
