It will depend on your itinerary when in Nagoya and Osaka.

Is your stay and tour in Nagoya within the city only? Nagoya has local pass. You can pay for individual ticket via JR local/shinkansen train, non-JR train (Kintetsu) or (highway or overnight) bus from Nagoya to Osaka.

Are you sure you have you already read the link? Because that will also be the answer to your question.

You may check each page of Nagoya, Osaka, Kyoto, Kobe and Nara here in Japan Guide.

A pass as indicated on the link in my earlier reply may or may not work depending on your itinerary. Each city has various local pass. You may even combine individual ticket, local pass and regional pass all in 1 day or more on 1 week of travel. Regional pass, say the famed Kansai Area or Wide Area Pass may work but almost useless in Kyoto, unless you go further to Northern Kyoto and use JR Bus by April 10. JR Bus between Nagoya and Osaka is not included.

The Kintetsu pass may be a good fit for you. It is one of the few passes that go between Nagoya and Osaka.

If you think you might want to visit the Kumano region, the Ise-Kumano pass is also a good value.
