Hello there,

Let's have a look at ticket prices and find out.

Tokyo - Nagano ¥ 8,200
Nagano - Osaka ¥ 11,790
Osaka - Hiroshima ¥ 10,230
Hiroshima - Tokyo ¥ 18,560

For a total of ¥ 48,780 vs the price of a 14 day JR Pass ¥ 46,390. Remember that the JR Pass can also be used for local travel on the JR Network in Tokyo and Osaka, to the Airport and used on the ferry from Hiroshima to Miyajima. All together you'll be able to make good savings with a JR Pass.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
