I am going to Japan for 4 days. Day one I am going from Narita Airport to Tokyo. Day two round-trip from Tokyo to Nagoya. Day three in Tokyo. And day four from Tokyo to Narita Airport.
Please let me know is it cheaper to buy a rail-pass or individual tickets? Can I exchange pass for all the tickets at Narita airport to use Narita express same day and Hikari train to Nagoya following day? Thank you for your help.

Hi Leo,
Yes, you can exchange the pass at Narita for use the same day and use on the Hikari bullet the following day. About which option is better for you, a 7 day rail pass will be worthwhile if you spend oer ¥28,300 on JR tickets so lets take a look at your projected costs:
TOTAL: ¥27840 for 4 legs
As you can see there's really not much in it. Individual tickets come in at ¥460 cheaper, but you can easily make this up through using JR trains around Tokyo or by doing any further JR travel (which the JR Pass give you flexibility to do).
Your choice of JR Pass vs JR tickets rests on whether you think you'll do any further travel than the itinerary you list, or would like the flexibility to change your plans while you are in Tokyo (for example through a day trip to Nikko).
Hope this helps!
