Hello! In regards to your upcoming trip to Japan, I probably wouldn't recommend you doing the 7-day pass. Those are usually useful if you're going ot be doing LOTS of traveling within Japan. If you're primarily staying in Tokyo and then coming to Kyoto and Osaka, I would just take the Shinkansen and then local trains from Kyoto to Osaka.
You also don't necessarily need to book a hotel in Osaka as Kyoto is quite close to it. You can just take a train from Kyoto to Umeda (Osaka) which is about 40 minutes. Keep in mind, there are 3 different kinds of Shinkansen trains to take and all 3 are different speeds. You'll be paying the most with "Nozomi", so if getting to Kyoto from Tokyo in 2 and a half hours is very fast, look into the other 2 Shinkansen trains and prices and how long it will take.
I hope the info helps and enjoy your trip!

I will land in Narita at 2pm from March 23 to April 2.
This is the cherry blossom season in Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka. In general Tokyo is a few days earlier, and the peak day in Tokyo is around 1st Apr. Further weather in Tokyo is better in winter, but March is not good month for Tokyo. Of course weather varies year to year, so Tokyo in next March may be good, but in general, you might better go to Kyoto first. If you land in Narita at 14:00 then you might better consider flight to Osaka (Itami). ANA's 16:40 flight is about 78 USD.
