  5. Nara > Kyoto: ¥690, (44mins, 41km)
  6. Kyoto > Osaka: ¥540, (28mins, 42km)
  7. Osaka > Koyasan: ¥1400, (141mins, 73km, incl. non-JR parts)

  • 21 day rail pass (¥57,700) saving: ¥25990

As you can see you'll make good minimum savings with a 21 day pass of around ¥26,000, with the freedom to alter your plans as needed.

Hope this helps!
