Hi Everyone. I have been looking all over the internet and really cant determine if the JR pass is worth it for my upcoming trip in May. We are landing in Tokyo then heading out to the following cities in this order – Takayama – Kanazawa – Kyoto – back to Tokyo. I know the JR pass works well from Kyoto to Tokyo from a previous trip but is it better to book individual tickets for the other cities or will the JR pass still be worth it. Any input will be greatly apprecaited.

It doesn’t. They raised the price by a lot. It’s not worth it anymore. Try a JR pass calculator.
Your trip comes to 41,500 YEN without a pass, the 7 day pass is 50,000 YEN the 14 day pass is 80,000 YEN.
The pass is hardly worthwhile for anyone ever since the price hike last year.
