That was a whooping 70% increase in price but I got my pass in August 2023! Have to decide on the places in Japan to cover in your next trip to determine whether it is worth to buy JR-pass or just return tickets from city to city.

The rising sun broke forth from the horizon a couple of hours before arrival at Tokyo Narita Airport.
Q to redeem JR-pass together with Narita Express ticket at Narita service centre then move to a platform for ride to Tokyo Station. (All these within 2 hours from touch-down, so convenient.)
After transferring a number of JR & local trains (additional minimum costs), arrived at Central Bible College, Toshima-Kamagome to meet a pastor friend. Rustic campus for learning and encountering God, the Creator of Heaven & Earth & everything within.
After handing him gifts from Singapore and my main luggage, traced the route back to Tokyo station for shinkansen trip to Gunma Prefecture for the Number One Katsu Curry in Japan - Restaurant Ponchi (〒371-0022 Gunma, Maebashi, Chiyodamachi, 3 Chome−3−18 レストランポンチ).
Took bus from Maebashi Station after arrival at Gunma by Shinkansen and reached bus top in front of Gunma Bank near the restaurant.
The renowned 103 years old restaurant, a favourite curry rice go to for the father of modern Japanese poetry, Sakutaro Hagiwara, who was born in Gunma.
Back at Tokyo Station from trip to Shin-Osaka station.
