Hi there!

I checked your itinerary and ticket prices for you but I think that it would be better to buy tickets as you travel.
The JR Pass is best suited for longer distances. For instance a return Tokyo - Kyoto will quickly pay off.
Your itinerary includes a lot of cities but long distance travel is limited to a one way ticket Tokyo - Kyoto.
Local travel around Kansai (Kyoto/Nara and Osaka) is very low by itself.

What you could consider is buying a Suica card in Japan to make your travel a lot more convenient. This is a prepaid travel card which just just slide over the gate each time that you enter and exit the platforms.

I looked up your hotel, you can find their access page here.

Hope this helps!
Daniel
