Hi!
Me and my boyfriend wil travel in Japan for three weeks starting September 20. As we are also planning to stay in Tokyo, Kyoto and the Japanse Alps for a few days and know that we cannot travel with a JR pass there, we are confused if a JR pass is worthwhile and if so which one to pick and when to activate.

Sept 26 - Kamikochi - Takayama
Sept 27 - Takayama
Sept 28 - Takayama - Shirakawago - Kyoto
Sept 29 - Kyoto
Sept 30 - Kyoto
Oct 1 - Kyoto - Daytrip Nara
Oct 2 - Kyoto
Oct 3 - Kyoto - Koya San
Oct 4 - Koya San - Hiroshima
Oct 5 - Hiroshima

Thanks in advance for your feedback!
