You might say well there is a layover. I say that gives me time to eat all the cheap yummy foods at the 7/11 and airport.
EDIT: someone in the comments said they found a flight that goes from LAX to HND to NRT to ITM.
Make sure you check the flight before buying. This is not ideal.
Ideal would be LAX to HND to ITM
but with the current exchange rate it is closer to ~$350 USD
what I never really liked about the JR Pass was that it limited you to the slower trains, so instead of sub-2 hours Osaka/Tokyo it was 2.5-3 hours and a more limited train schedule.
so instead of being able to get to Kyoto by 8AM from Tokyo you're stuck getting there a later point in the morning. can't do day trips as easily.
before when it was ~$250 USD the rail pass would be worth it if you were going to do at least 1 single Tokyo/Osaka RT on the bullet train AND you were going to take the Narita Express AND you were going to take mostly JR surface rail.
I used it once in 2017, and quickly realized it was not useful for getting around Tokyo, as a lot of places are either accessible only via Tokyo Metro/Toei Subway, or you have to constantly transfer between different lines.
the money "saved" was not worth the extra time getting around the stations, especially when some JR to subway exits are opposite of where the ticket offices are for you to exit from when you have the JR pass.
for those wondering: round trip between Tokyo and Osaka is JPY 14,000 one way, about $100 USD. that's if you book the ticket last minute at the station or online via Smart EX.
zero point using the rail pass unless you're trying to see all of Japan by train within a very short period of time.

Now that the price doubled, it's not as good but still borders on being worth it unless for some reason youre ONLY staying in one city
just don't expect it to work everywhere.
on your last point, JR Rail pass is only worth it though if you are taking at least 1 single RT on Shinkansen from Tokyo to Osaka or beyond. otherwise it is cheaper to just buy the Shinkansen ticket as you need it, considering a single one way trip is JPY 14000 (28000 for a RT) and the pass is JPY 50000...
Good luck! 🥴😵 💫
It was intense, especially for my SO, but doable. Looking back, I'd rather advise to concentrate on 2-3 cities for the first time. However, Japan's nature is beyond beautiful to miss it out. But an overnight trip to an onsen near Tokyo would give a good exposure. There are plenty of packages with either train or bus round trips.

But not on a JAL long haul correct? When I looked at this a couple of days ago, I thought it was JAL for the entire journey. Now it's only giving me UA for the long haul, with JAL for the connection to ITM
