Hello Desmond,

I would advise the 7 day JR Pass for your travel and use it from Feb 20th - Feb 26th. This way you could cover all pricey travel with it and you will make great savings at the same time.

That only leaves travel for the last couple of days in Tokyo and back to the Airport. Within Tokyo you could consider buying a Suica card for easy access or buy a Tokyo Metro Day Pass which is also great for exploring the city.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
