Hi there,
Here is a little list of ticket prices without the JR-Pass.
Narita Airport --> Tokyo ¥ 2,940
Tokyo --> Hiroshima ¥ 18,050
Hiroshima --> Kyoto ¥ 10,790
Kyoto --> Odawara (for Hakone) ¥ 11,750
Odawara --> (Tokyo) ¥ 3,640
Tokyo --> Narita Airport ¥ 2,940
For a total of ¥ 50,110 the 14 Day JR-Pass is ¥ 45,100 so you could save at least ¥ 5,010.
Nozomi trains:
I read that you would like to ride the Nozomi at least once, if I may ask, is there any specif reason for this? The Trains themselves are usually the same as the Hikari trains (that are covered by the JR-Pass) and part of the N700series the only difference is that the Hikari makes a couple more stops on the way.
If you do plan on taking the Nozomi the best part to route to do so is Hiroshima --> Kyoto, otherwise you would most likely have a transfer at Shin-Osaka.
Instead of taking the Nozomi once have you considered taking the Upgrade to Green Class? This is 16,000Yen for the 14-day JR Pass (slightly less that one way Tokyo --> Hiroshima) and you will be able to enjoy all your travel in extra class and comfort.
Hope this helps,
Daniel
