Hi, we're going to be in Japan for a week and don't know if we should buy the JR Pass or regular tickets.
These are the trips we plan to do: 

Narita Airport --> Tokyo Ueno Station
Tokyo Ueno Station --> Takayama Station
Takayama Station --> Higashishiokoji Kamadonocho, Kyoto
Higashishiokoji Kamadonocho, Kyoto --> Osaka Namba Station
Osaka Namba Station -->Kintetsu Nara Station
Kintetsu Nara Station --> Osaka Namba Station
Osaka Namba Station --> Chome Marunouchi, Tokyo

Another question, for transport inside of the city of Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka is it possible to use the JR Pass?

Thanks!

Hello there,

For this trip, it would be better to purchase normal tickets. You'd not get enough value out of the JR Pass to make savings here. The Pass would also not include travel on the Kintetsu line.

Kind regards,
Daniel
