Hello, please help to check below itinerary, I have checked the site that 7 Days JR PASS is better than 14 Days JR PASS, but I don't know can I active the pass on the Day 3 to Kobe or Day 4 to Nara in Osaka station. Because the long distance trip to Tokyo in on the Day 5, so if active it on arrival to KIX, it will be expired before I come back to Kyoto. Please advice.
Below itinerary is a rough plan, basically, I will stay in each city for 2-5 days. If JR pass is not worth it, can I just use my ICOCA to travel between KIX - Osaka - Tokyo - Kyoto - KIX
