Hi there,

That's a lot of travel and covering much of Japan. Getting a 21 day JR Pass is obvious so the question is what to get in addition. Assuming you would use the pass on the first 21 days, then the remaining travel would cost less than a 7 day JR Pass and there's no regional pass that covers the route Tokyo - Kyoto on the Tokaido Shinkansen.

That said, a 7 day JR Pass might be worth it if plans change and you'd do a bit more travel.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
