We are a family of 4 (2 kids ages 6 & 8) who plans to visit Japan 4/1-4/13/08. Would a JR pass for all of us be cost effective given our itinery or would single/local tickets be better?
4/1 - Arrive at Narita Airport
4/1-4/5 Base in Tokyo with day trip to Nikko on one day.
4/5-4/7 Hakone
4/7-4/12 Kyoto with day trip to Nara on one day
4/12 Leave Kyoto for Tokyo, spend the night then
4/13 Fly out of Narita/Tokyo
Also if there are any travel tips, we'd greatly appreciate it as it will be our first visit to Japan.
Thank you, Diemha

Here's a revised schedule (for cheapest train travel):
4/1 - arrive - Narita Express to Tokyo 4/3-4/5 - Hakone by Hakone free pass 4/6 - to/from Nikko (activate 7 day pass) 4/6-4/12 To Kyoto, Nara 4/12 - Return to Tokyo (last day of 7 day pass) 4/13 - Narita Express to Narita
total is roughly 40000 yen.
Also be aware that the JR pass isn't valid within Hakone.
