Based on your itinerary you'll make significant savings with the 14 day Japan Rail Pass. Also, note that this is the base savings. There are lots of opportunities to use JR lines in Tokyo in addition to additional unplanned day trips for further savings.

Purchasing different tickets in Japan is not hard - simply visit a JR ticket counter at the station and indicate to the staff which train you would like to use. As all your travel covers mainly metropolitan areas you should not have too many problems with using English, but I recommend you bring a print out of your route just in case - English is much easier to understand when written down sometimes!

The JR Pass needs certain settings in Hyperdia to be deactivated before you can see correct pricing relevant for comparison. You can learn how to use Hyperdia for JR Pass holders through our video blog.

Hope this helps!
