Hi There!
We are planning a trip in November (1st time) and I've seen some itineraries similar to ours posted on sites and I've seen replies to them that they do not need a JR pass. Can anyone please provide feedback as there is just so much information to process on how to get around Japan.
Thanks in advance!
Day 1: Arrival Tokyo
Day 2: Tokyo sightsee. Overnight Tokyo.
Day 3: Overnight Tokyo (day trio to Nikko).
Day 4: Tokyo to Lake Kawaguchiko. Overnight Lake Kawaguchiko.
Day 5: Travel from Lake Kawaguchiko to Kyoto. Overnight Kyoto.
Day 6: Kyoto (Kyoto Sightsee)
Day 7: Kyoto (Himeji Castle)
Day 8: Kyoto (Nara + Osaka)
Day 9: Kyoto to Shirakawa Go. Overnight Shirakawa-Go
Day 10: Visit Yayamata . Overnight Matsumoto (Matsumoto Castle)
Day 11: Overnight Matsumoto (Magome-Tsumago trail)
Day 12: Matsumoto to Tokyo. Overnight in Tokyo
Day 13: Depart Tokyo

The following are the fares that would be covered by using a Japan Rail Pass:
Day 1: Arrival Tokyo
Typically 1000-2000 yen
Day 2: Tokyo sightsee. Overnight Tokyo.
Typically 0-500 yen
Day 3: Overnight Tokyo (day trio to Nikko).
Typically 3,000 yen
Day 4: Tokyo to Lake Kawaguchiko. Overnight Lake Kawaguchiko.
About 1000 yen
Day 5: Travel from Lake Kawaguchiko to Kyoto. Overnight Kyoto.
About 11,000 yen
Day 6: Kyoto (Kyoto Sightsee)
Typically 0-200 yen
Day 7: Kyoto (Himeji Castle)
2,000 yen
(note that the castle is still under renovation until spring 2015)
Day 8: Kyoto (Nara + Osaka)
About 2000 yen
Day 9: Kyoto to Shirakawa Go. Overnight Shirakawa-Go
7,000 yen (Kyoto-Kanazawa)
Day 10: Visit Yayamata . Overnight Matsumoto (Matsumoto Castle)
I assume you mean Takayama.
No savings with the Japan Rail Pass
Day 11: Overnight Matsumoto (Magome-Tsumago trail)
About 10,000 yen
Day 12: Matsumoto to Tokyo. Overnight in Tokyo
About 6,000 yen
Day 13: Depart Tokyo
Typically 1000-3000 yen
I hope this will enable you to nake the comparison to the cost of a 7-day or 14-day Japan Rail Pass.

If you have a google chrome, go to map then type in point A( hotel, train station, etc. ) to point B they will tell you how to get there plus how much it is.
