Hi Atilla,

You can use the JR Pass to visit all the above cities and use the bullet train where available (for instance there is no bullet train station at Nara).

You can have a great view of Fuji at Atami, Odawara or Mishima stations. You can also travel a bit closer to Fuji and visit places like Gotemba or Kawaguchiko. If you have a bit more time, then a visit to the Hakone region is very nice. You can view Fuji nicely from there and there are many interesting activities for sightseeing in the area.

While some JR hotels will give you a small discount with the JR Pass, it is generally more cheaper to buy hotels directly at special rates. You will find traditional Ryokan with Onsen in any of the above places but I would recommend staying in one at Kyoto or around Fuji for the best experience.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
