Hi
My husband and I are first time travellers to Japan and are really excited about the trip. We're going to be there for 15days/ 14nights. Listing below our itinerary and am requesting your help to check if a JR pass will help . If so what kind. Also we will be there from 13 -27th - we realise its a busy period, should we be booking tickets in advance/ buying a green JR pass?
Itinerary

17 - Tokyo to Hakone/ Fuji 5 lakes -overnight stay [also need advise on the best way to get from Hakone / Fuji 5 lakes to Takayama]

21-26 - Kyoto (day trips to Nara and Hiroshima)
