Hi
I am planning to get a 7 day JR pass for my following itienary but realise the cost of it (7 day JR pass) doesnt justify. And on top of that I cant use JR pass for the whole of my journey from tokyo to Hakone. which I have been advised to get an additional Hakone 2 day pass on top of the 7 day pass.
Is there another recommended regional pass or rail pass combination which I can buy to better utilise for the following itienary (Especially for use from tokyo to Kanazawa) instead of buying a 7 day JR pass with Hakone Day pass?
Thanks
Day 1 Tokyo - Hakone - Tokyo
Day 2 Tokyo - Kanazawa - Shirakawa Go- Kanazawa
Day 3 Kanazawa - Kyoto
Day 4 Kyoto - Nara - Kyoto
Day 5 Kyoto - Osaka
Day 6 Osaka
Day 7 Osaka - Kansai Airport

JR does not go to the sights of Hakone, so there is no JR Pass that covers all the places you mention. For Hakone, the best choice is a Hakone Free Pass.

The Loop Course is a common way to see all the sights and takes a full day.

Aside from this, the only regional pass that covers the 3 areas you plan to be in is the Hokuriku Arch Pass:

although you will still need to pay for the bus to go to Shirakawago.
