Hi there!

The JR Pass will cover most of your travel, including travel to Hiroshima and the airport. What is not included is travel to and from Kamikochi, this because the area is only reachable by bus. Here is some extra information on how to access Kamikochi.
In addition the last part to Mount Koya (Osaka - Koya) is traveled on the Nankai railway which requires an additional fee of 850 yen.

The JR Pass already is a very discounted ticket and only available for foreign tourists, there's no extra discount for students or senior citizen. However the JR Staff will be more than happy to assist you, in case you require any extra help!

I hope this helps!
Daniel
