Hi there,

You could go for a 7 day JR Pass for the last 7 days of your itinerary + normal tickets at the start or go for a 14 day JR Pass. Both would help you make savings.

The JR Pass covers train travel between the cities you wish to visit but note that travel on the Alpine route is not included, neither is the bus to Shirakawago.

It depends on your country but with your travel date in mind, I would order your Japan Rail Pass as soon as possible :)

Hope this helps,
Daniel
