day 7 flight back at 9:30am at KIX
should i pay as i go? does the pass cover subway and trains too? thanks!

Answer:


Your itinerary is too full and you may find the deer the tourists like are in Nara.
As for the JR pass, the Hikari shinkansen trips between Osaka and Tokyo will pay for it before you include the other journeys.
You can't use the JR pass on the private railway systems and on the tube in Osaka, Kyoto and Kobe. Nor can you use it on non JR buses, but you will save money using a JR pass.
