Since you will be travelling in-between several regions, the only pass that will cover your entire journey is the National Japan Rail Pass. You cannot go from one region to another with two regional passes.
The Japan Rail Pass will also allow you to take the Shinkansen bullet train (except for the Nozomi and Mizuho).
You can purchase this pass for 7, 14, or 21 consecutive days via our website :
