Hi there,

A 7-day JR Pass would suit you best, but when you activate it depends on your needs: activating it from the 10th to the 16th gives you access to the Osaka Loop but activating it from the 12th to the 18th gives you 2 days of use on the Yamanote line around Tokyo.

Hope this helps!

Thank you.

Do you mean the All Japan JR pass or is there possibility that I can buy a Regional Pass if suitable to my itinerary?

I have two questions and will be grateful if you can help answer:

Can you advice if the Osaka-Tokyo Hokuriku Arch Pass will be suitable for my travel needs based on above itinerary plan?
Will the JR Pass (either National or Regional) will be useful on the Alpine Route? As I am planning to go from Kyoto to Tokyo via the Alpine route (reach Tokyo via Nagano)
