Hello there!

The JR pass is valid for the greater part of your itinerary, including travel in Tokyo and Kyoto on the JR Network. In Tokyo the JR Pass can be used to see most of the city, in Kyoto the JR is somewhat limited and you may have to use other transport as well, such as the bus.

Other places where you may have to use additional transport is around Hakone/Fuji, between Nagano - Yudakana and the last part between Osaka - Koya. For the rest everything is included and the JR Pass would help you make good savings.

For the rest - I think that the above itinerary looks great and certainly works!

Hope this helps!
Daniel
