15 Takayama
16-17 Kanazawa
18-21 Kyoto
22 Nara

Hi there,
Looking at Japan Rail Pass options for your plan, I would use a 14 day JR Pass for travel from Day 14 to Day 27. This would allow you to do all your travel before returning to Tokyo and even add in the day trip to Kamakura. All while you'll be making great savings at the same time.
I did check regional passes for you are well, but there is none that would match your travel and help you make savings. So a Japan Rail Pass is the better option.
Some notes on usage: Not all travel to Koya-san is covered by the JR Pass. More details can be found here.
The same goes for travel within Hakone.
Hope this helps :)
