Hello,
I've checked the trip calculator and it would seem from that I could benefit from a JR rail pass but when I look on google maps I can't find a route using JR rail trains that aren't using the Nozomi Shinkansen (not included on pass?).
This is the route:
1)Tokyo
2) Nagoya Station to catch bus to Magome
3) Nagiso station to 4) Osaka
Next Osaka to 5) Kyoto
Then day trip to 6) Nara/ Uji and back to Kyoto
Lastly train from 7) Kyoto back to Tokyo.
Please let me know if I should buy JR rail pass or pay per ticket. Thanks.

Hi there,
Google Maps is not a good resource for planning your JR Pass trip - because it does not show Hikari / Sakura / Kodama Shinkansen trains.
Yes, a JR Pass will help you make savings on this route.
Instead, we recommend using Navi time - add the JR Pass option under tourist pass.
Hope this helps,
Daniel
