Appreciate your reply on this.
Thanks.

Hi Len,

Since you travel by night bus between Tokyo - Osaka, I don't think that you would need a JR Pass.

What you could look into is buying a [All day Metro ticket]9http://www.tokyometro.jp/en/ticket/value/1day/) for your travel in Tokyo and a Osaka unlimited pass for your local travel in Osaka, as it covers the local subway network and gives free admission to many tourist attractions.

The Kyoto the best way to get around is by bus.
For Kyoto consider a 500yen all day bus pass which allows for unlimited bus travel around the city.

Have a great trip!
Daniel
