Hi Denzel,

Travel from Tokyo - Hokkaido (Niseko) is quite a long trip and a JR Pass can give you amazing savings compared to purchasing normal tickets. From there travel to Osaka, Hiroshima and elsewhere is also very expensive without a JR Pass, as most travel is done on the Shinkansen bullet trains.

I do recommend looking carefully at the routes Tokyo - Niseko and Niseko - Osaka as these are very long routes and you may prefer taking a flight instead. The JR Pass however will be the most affordable option here, as its one ticket for all your travel.

Also Fuji is quite a large area to visit. For details see:

Hope this helps,
Daniel
