Hello there,

While the JR Pass covers the entire trip, it would be more economic to purchase normal tickets. The JR Pass would be great if used for a return trip Tokyo - Osaka.

This also brings of to Q1. Yes the JR Pass covers all these stops. However it is basically a one way route Tokyo - Osaka, Yokohama, Nagoya and Kyoto are directly on the route.

2/3.) The JR Pass covers local JR lines and transport run by JR. Transport run by other companies is not. Most buses are run by other companies.

3.) It takes about 3 hours.

4.) You can only purchase the JR Pass outside of Japan. This is important to know if you do want to purchase one.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
