Hi,
Your itinerary is so long that there is no pass that can fill your whole trip. For part of your trip, you might consider getting a JR East Tohoku Area Pass or a JR East South Hokkaido Pass and use it for the long distance and bullet train portions of your trip, while you pay out of pocket for the smaller trips. Then in Hokkaido there are several Hokkaido Rail Passes you might look at - but honestly, there are rather overpriced and difficult to make worthwhile. Actually, renting a car for Hokkaido is not a bad idea either.

You can see regular fares, routes and schedules on Hyperdia.

Good luck.
