Is the Japan Rail pass worth it?

Hello!

I am planning of visiting Japan for two weeks. I will go to Osaka, Hiroshima, Kyoto, and Tokyo. I have a gift card to GetYourGuide so I could afford to purchase the 7-day rail pass.

There are a few considerations.

I leave for my trip on Friday (it’s Monday morning). Based on others’ experiences, do I have time to order the pass?

Is it easy to use? Are there additional hidden costs I wouldn’t know about?

If it’s not worth it, just would use the gift card to take a day trip or just have a bit more flexibility in activities since I’ve already budgeted for cheaper transportation in Japan.

Thank you for any insight!
