Itinerary check/JR Pass advice

Hey there,

Haven’t scrolled through many posts on here so I apologize if this is duplicating any other posts.

Going to Japan for the first time for 18 days in November!

Itinerary:

11/7-11/10: Tokyo
11/10-11/12: Mt. Fuji/5 lakes area
11/12-11/15: Kyoto
11/15-11/18: Osaka
day trip to Nara while in Kyoto or Osaka
11/18-11/21: Hiroshima
day trip to Miyajima Island
11/21-11/22: Kobe
11/22-11/24: Tokyo

Would a 14-day JR Pass be worth it for this itinerary? I used the calculator and it said I would need to spend approximately $160 more to make it worth it, but I didn’t factor in transit through the major cities. I assume I will be using transit of some sort multiple times a day while in Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka.

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Thanks so much in advance. I can’t wait to see this beautiful country!
