Hi there,
I think the Osaka-Tokyo Hokuriku Arch Pass is the best option for you - it covers travel to Osaka, Kyoto and Tokyo at a cheaper price than a regular JR Pass. The pass won't cover bus travel, but it will cover basic metro transport via the Osaka loop line in Osaka and the JR Yamanote loop in Tokyo. If you plan to use the metro more I would recommend purchasing a prepaid travel card such as a SUICA or a PASMO.
Hope this helps!
