Hi there!

That's one interesting and somewhat crazy trip. It's a good example of how efficient a JR Pass can be as it would be at least 3 times the price. It is a lot of travel so I would recommend looking at travel times and ask yourself if you want to be on the move so much.

I would also leave your visit to Shirakawago for a later time, it will just take way to long to get there from Kawaguchiko and I think that it would be impossible to even make it to Tokyo on the same day. Better would be to enjoy your time up north a little, maybe see a bit more of Hokkaido, make a stop at Sendai or maybe explore Kurosaki.

Hope this helps!
Daniel
