First time in Japan
I'm not sure which train pass to buy and whether I should buy an individual pass. Our itinerary is as follows:
04/20/26 - Tokyo - Kanazawa
04/22 - Kanazawa - Hiroshima
04/23 - Hiroshima - Naoshima
04/25 - Naoshima - Kyoto
04/28 - Kyoto-Nara-Kyoto
04/29 - Kyoto - Osaka - Kyoto
04/30 - Kyoto - Hakone
05/01 - Hakone - Tokyo
Thank you very much for your help.

Hi there,
For your trip, the most convenient option is a 14-day Nationwide JR Pass.
Another option you could consider is combining a regional pass, such as the Kansai-Hiroshima Area Pass, with individual tickets.
I hope this helps with your planning!
Kind Regards,
Mariko
