Hi Everyone,
I am looking for an Itinerary check plus people's thoughts on getting a 14 day JR pass for my wife and me for our Honeymoon. The days in Osaka and Kyoto have not been fully planned, but we are pretty sure about the days we are spending there.
Day 1: Tokyo - Land at Narita. Go to Meguro station and walk around Day 2: Tokyo - Harajuku/Mieji Shrine Day 3: Tokyo - Akihabara and Ueno Park, Nakamise street Day 4: Tokyo - Tokyo Disneyland Day 5: Tokyo - Tokyo DisneySea Day 6: Leave early to Takamatsu. Sanuki Takamatsu Hotel Day 7: Take Train to Tokushima for Awa Dance Festival, then go back to hotel in Takamatsu. Day 8: Leave early for Osaka. Day 9: Osaka Day 10: Leave for Kyoto. Fire Festival Day 11: Kyoto Day 12: Kyoto Day 13: Head back to Tokyo (time can be flexible) Day 14: Leave early for Kusatsu Onsen Town. Day 15: Head back to Tokyo. Check out at 10 am. Spend the day in Odaiba. Day 16: Tokyo - Fuji Q! (maybe) Day 17: Tokyo - Studio Ghibli Museum. Inokashira Park. Inokashira Aquarium/Zoo (Sunday) Day 18: Hakone Day Trip Day 19: Yokohama Day 20: Chance to go back to any area of Tokyo we really enjoyed. Day 21: Flying to Seoul at 6:40 pm from Narita
It looks like there is a 8 day period where we will be traveling cross country. From Tokyo to Takamatsu on Day 6 and then from Kyoto to Tokyo on Day 13. Looks like the 7-day pass would not be enough to cover both large trips. The 14-day pass may be better and then we can use it for urban transport also (along with the trip from Tokyo to Kusatsu and Tokyo to Hakone).
Thanks!

Something which might be an option is catching a plane from Narita to Takamatsu in Shikoku with Jetstar.
This might make the 7 day JR pass possible as sometimes Jetstar has really cheap fares (but check the final cost).
You should be able to only need to fly one way at the start.
Just to confirm - this is just another option and might be more convenient of slightly (not a lot) cheaper than a 14 day JR pass (taking into consideration other train options in Tokyo)

Thank you for the suggestion, mfedley. I just looked up flights to Takamatsu. Taking into the consideration the transportation fee of getting to and from the airport and then the round trip to Tokushima, I think the 14 day Japan railpass would be more cost effective. Thanks again!
