Hello there,

Sorry for the late replay, a lengthy post needs a lengthy answer though!

1.) Before we get started with your itinerary, I'd like to recommend leaning to plan with www.hyperdia.com, this is absolutely the best resource when it comes down to traveling in Japan. It can show you route information, travel times, fares and much more. See our blog with all the details. This will also help you a lot when traveling in Japan.

2.) The green lines are all JR lines, in other words you can use the JR Pass to travel on them freely. The are however no Shinkansen (bullet trains).

3.) To travel to Jigokudani, first take the Nagano shinkansen from Tokyo station to Nagano (105 Minutes). See this link for access details to Jigokudani.
Other nice places to visit near Nagano are Nagano city itself and Yudanaka has nice onsen. Travel to the Alpine Snow valley is too far away to do on the same day, the route alone takes nearly a full day to transverse. You can find the access details here if you do want to visit it.

4.) Here is the route from Nagano - Gife its about 4h of travel by train. To travel to Shirakawago, take a train to Takayama and from there a bus (about 1.5h) to Shirakawago.

5.) Here is the full route to Beppu. There is indeed a transfer at Kokura.Travel back to Tokyo takes 437 Minutes.

Fuji is indeed amazing! However there are many areas to visit. The most famous are Fuji Five lakes, Hakone and Gotemba. More on travel can Fuji can be found here.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
