Hi there,

With a small change to your plans, I would look at using a 7-day JR Pass. The trips that cost the most are the intercity trips and if you could take a late train back to Tokyo on the 7th, this would allow you to put all your intercity trips within the 7day period.

That said, you do enough travel for a 14 day JR Pass to be cost efficient and it would be a good choice if you want to extra flexibility that it offers.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
