Hi there,

For this itinerary I would advise buying normal train tickets. A 7 day JR Pass can be useful if you make a return Tokyo - Kyoto/Osaka using the Shinkansen (bullet train). In the above itinerary longer distance travel limited to a one way ticket.

All other travel is relatively local, for instance Kyoto, Nara and Osaka are all closely located in the Kansai region.

This is a very well planned itinerary btw :)

Hope this helps,
Daniel
