Is the 21 day JR pass the way to go for this itinerary?
Thanks and regards,

Is 21 days JR pass worthwhile based on this itinerary?
Hello there,
Here's a quick overview of normal ticket prices.
Tokyo - Nagano ¥ 8,200 (travel from Nagano - Yudanaka not covered by JR)
Nagano - Takayama ¥ 12,600
Takayama - Hiroshima ¥ 17,300
Hiroshima - Osaka ¥ 10,440
Osaka - Kinosaki ¥ 5,600
Kinosaki - Hakone (Odawara station for make for the best routing) ¥ 15,470
Odawara - Tokyo ¥ 3,740
Tokyo - Narita Airport ¥ 3,020
For a total of ¥ 76,370 a 21 day JR Pass is ¥ 59,350, so you'll make great savings. Possibly you could also use a 14 day JR Pass instead from day 7, this would also allow you to cover all - otherwise expansive - travel and may be a more budget friendly option.
Hope this helps,
Daniel
