Hi there!

For this itinerary I would recommend using normal tickets. The JR Pass works great when you visit different regions in Japan using the Shinkansen. Even though you visit a lot of places, your travel distance limited and a JR Pass would not be put to good use.

The Osaka unlimited pass, is a pass which allows for unlimited travel on the Osaka subway and offers free admission to different sightseeing places around Osaka, such as Osaka castle.

Hope this helps!
Daniel
