Hi there!

All of the places you list will be covered by the Japan Rail Pass except for your trip to Shirakawago. To get to Shirakawago you'll need to take the [Nohi bus from Takayama] (round trip ¥4300). Here's a breakdown of the rest of your trip for you:

  1. Narita airport terminal 1 > Tokyo: ¥3,140 (62mins, 79km)
  2. Tokyo > Osaka: ¥13,950 (194mins, 556km)
  3. Osaka > Kyoto: ¥540 (29mins, 42km)
  4. Kyoto > Nara: ¥690 (44mins, 41km)
  5. Nara > Takayama: ¥10,010 (254mins, 356km)
  6. Takayama > Tokyo: ¥14,000 (273mins, 532km)
  7. Tokyo > Narita airport terminal 1: ¥3,140 (58mins, 79km)

JR ticket cost: ¥45,470 for 7 legs
