7-day JR Pass 2019/6/9 19:30
We are a family of 5, with an 8-day trip to Japan. Is it advisable to buy the 7-day JR Pass for Osaka-Kyoto-Nara-Tokyo-Osaka itinerary?

Thanks.

How about leaving Tokyo for a future trip?
7 days JR Pass will pay off the journey from Osaka to/return Tokyo but for a 8 days trip, it is better to just stick to the Kansai area.

The above has a good point - you are cramming in a lot for just 8 days. It would be better to stick to one area, unless you are sure you won't be returning to Japan ever again or for a long while.
For the question though, you would like save more using the japanican ticket instead of the 7 day JR Pass, unless you add more (Himeji, or even just the N'Ex).

Even with Nara etc, you'd still come out ahead, and you can take the Nozomi trains, getting you there 30 minutes sooner.

Kyoto (incl Nara)/Tokyo is ok for a introduction trip of 7/8 days. (Note Tokyo rather than Osaka.) The 7-day pass will save a small amount of money.
