Hi there,

Is it correct to say that you'll be travelling one way from Osaka to Kyoto to Tokyo? In this case, using a JR Pass would not pay off. As a general rule, a 7-day JR Pass is worth considering if you make at least a return trip Tokyo to Osaka.

For travel to Fuji, it depends where you want to go. I see you plan to go to Kawaguchiko. In that case the best route is to use the Shinkansen from Kyoto to Mishima station and then the high way bus to Kawaguchiko.

I hope you find this useful,
Daniel
