Hi, Thank you for hosting this forum and answering my questions. It is very reassuring to have this resource to get clear and correct answers. I am traveling to Japan for the first time.
My itinerary
11-Apr  Central Tokyo
16-Apr  Urayasu Tokyo Bay
22-Apr   Fujikawaguchiko (local line off of JR/Chuo/Ostuki)
25-Apr  Mt Kaikoma (Ote, local line)
26-Apr   Matsumoto
28-Apr   Kanazawa
1-May    Kyoto
4-May    Osaka
8-May    Tokyo
13-May  Leave Tokyo
As you can see, I will spend a lot of time in Tokyo, and I will travel to a couple of locations that will require travel on local lines, not JR.
What JR rail pass would you recommend, and for how many days?
