Hi Chika!

You will be able to make some amazing savings with the JR Pass, I can that you plan to travel around a lot and the JR Pass covers nearly all of your train travel.

For travel from Nagoya - Kyoto, you can use the Shinkansen for direct travel between Nagoya station - Kyoto station. The route takes ¥ 5,800 / 36 Minutes.

From Osaka - Hiroshima, travel to Shin-Osaka station from where you can directly use the Shinkansen to Hiroshima station. For Miyajima take a local train for Hiroshima to Miyajima-guchi, you can use the ferry from there.

From Osaka - Tokyo, travel to Shin-Osaka, from there you can take a direct shinkansen to Tokyo station. The trip takes about 3 hours.

For travel from Tokyo - Nikko, I'd recommend going to Tokyo station than ask the staff for tickets to Nikko. They will find the best route for you. This because the route and trains traveled on are different depending on the time.

For Hakone - Nagoya, travel from any station in the Hakone region to Odawara station, from there you can use the Shinkansen directly to Nagoya.

I see that most of your questions are about routes and how to travel on them. I would recommend reading our Blog Post on how to plan with Hyperdia this way you can look up route information yourself, which is especially helpful if plans change and you want to look up a certain route.

Hope this helps!
Daniel
