Day 2,3 in Tokyo

Day 5 Hakone to Kyoto
Day 6 Kyoto
Day 7 Kyoto to Osaka
Day 8 Osaka to Kansai
I'm considering 7 day green JR pass with separate purchase of transportation from Narita to Hotel in Tokyo (Westin). Is rail pass necessary or is purchase of individual tickets better? Can seats be reserved in advance/online with green pass? Does having the rail pass make travel easier (i.e. don't have to wait in line to buy tickets)?
Thanks
