Hello there,

The itinerary looks good and busy and that's how you get to see the most of Japan. The JR Pass will cover all your travel where needed and you'll make nice savings over normal tickets.

For Kobe, you will most likely want to travel to the Station called Sannomiya, this is the center of Kobe and gives easy access to many places. You can reach this station on the JR Shinkaisoku service from Osaka/Kyoto stations.

Let me know if there's anything I can help you with!
