JRPass worth it for me?

Hi, I'm planning to do a 21-22 day trip to Japan and I'm not sure yet if JRPass is worth it.

Here is my itinerary:

Day 1: Arrive in Osaka
Day 2: Osaka
Day 3: Train to Kyoto in the afternoon
Day 4 to day 7: Kyoto
Day 8: Train to Tokyo
Day 9 to 15: Tokyo
Day 16: Train to Shizuoka
Day 17-21: Shizuoka
Day 22: Train to Narita Airport and return to my country

From what I saw, it wouldn't be worth it for me, but I don't if the regular day-trips and buses that I would take everyday would make up for it or not, or if I should just buy some regional passes and use them to make the longer travel (if possible).
My biggest worry is how tough it would be for the day by day regular transportation in town and the convenience of JRpass.

Hi there,

I checked your itinerary for the best match but there is not really a pass that would help you make savings here.

As such, buying normal tickets is the better option economically. For local travel, I recommend reading:

Kind regards,
