Hi Kit,

It may sounds strange but I would actually recommend buying normal tickets for the above itinerary. The JR Pass is great if you travel on a couple of Shinkansen routes. For instance a return Osaka - Tokyo will quickly pay off. However your itinerary basically is a one way trip Osaka - Tokyo with a couple of nice stops on the way.

Enjoy Japan!
