Hi there,
Because your itinerary is spread out, it’s likely that for most of your trip it’d be more cost-effective to purchase your tickets individually. I would suggest looking into a Kansai-Hiroshima Pass, for use between day 19-23, as it’s likely you’d make savings using this pass. If you do prefer to use a rail pass for the whole duration of your trip, purchasing a 14-day JR Pass for use between day 4-17 of your trip is additionally an option, but note that this would be a more expensive option.
Kind regards,
Alexis
