Hi there,

Looking at your itinerary, I would buy normal rail tickets as you travel. The JR Pass is best used for longer distances, think of Osaka - Tokyo, making a return on this route is enough for a JR Pass to break-even. However you only travel one way and normal tickets will simply cost less.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
