Hi there,

While the JR Pass covers part of the route, the part between Otsuki station and Kawaguchiko is traveled on the Fujikyu line and not included in the JR Pass. The additional fee is 1,140yen/one way per person. Going from Osaka is quite a long trip, first make your way to Otsuki and then to Kawaguchiko. The full route takes 5-6 hours. This is why it is generally bettter to visit Kawaguchiko as a day trip from Tokyo instead of a stop-over between Osaka - Tokyo.

2.) The same applies here but in reserve, first take the Fujikyu line back to Otsuki and from there use the JR Pass into Tokyo.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
