Hello there,
First of all, this is a great website, not only does it provide good information about JR Pass but also has great contents around individual itineraries while in Japan. I have learned a lot from question and answer section and I appreciate every bit of information that is available.
I have some specific question about my itinerary so I'd appreciate any feedback, suggestion, and advise you could provide. Except my arrival (June 07th) and departure (June 22nd) dates to and from Japan, everything else is flexible as I will be traveling myself alone and haven't booked any accommodation yet.
I am planning to buy a 14-day JR Pass, so please let me know if it makes sense. I can opt for 21-day JR Pass as well if it makes more sense.

Arrival at Narita - Head straight to Shinjuku - Will book something for accommodation around Shinjuku JR station. Would it be possible to use my JR Pass from Narita to Shinjuku JR?
